Hangman - 2skywalkers - Oct-19-2018
Im not sure if this should be posted in the games section but the only library its using is random. I got this code online to try to understand it and then write my own but I came across a problem.
This is what happens when i guess all the right letters
____t__tte_ttestYou won
What i want to happen is that after I guess one letter correct, I want it to print a new line below instead of right next to it, Ive tried stuff with newlines and stuff like that but have not figured it out. Original it was printer in a column so I added "end = ''" and that fixed that problem but now I have this problem.
name = input("What is your name? ")
print("Hello, " + name, "Time to play hangman!")
print ("")
import random
word = "test"
guesses = ''
turns = 10
while turns > 0:
failed = 0
for char in word:
if char in guesses:
print(char, end = '')
else:
print("_", end = '')
failed += 1
if failed == 0:
print("You won")
break
print
guess = input("guess a character: ")
guesses += guess
if guess not in word:
turns -= 1
print("Wrong")
print("You have", + turns, 'more guesses')
if turns == 0:
print("You Lost, sad face")
print("the word was:")
print(word)
RE: Hangman - buran - Oct-19-2018
you added
end='' argument to print function because it was printing in a column and now you are surprised it prints on the same line?
RE: Hangman - 2skywalkers - Oct-19-2018
No, I wanted it to print on the same line. Originally it was:
Guess a letter:
-
-
-
-
So I changed it. To Guess a letter: - - - - But now, when I get a correct guess, it just appends it to the current line, I want it to print a newline then instead of appending.
I want it to be like this:
(The word is test)
Guess a letter: e
-e--
Guess a letter: t
te-t
Like that.
RE: Hangman - ichabod801 - Oct-19-2018
Right, but that is what is putting "You won" on the same line as everything else. Put a plain
print() at the end of the for loop to move the output to the next line.
