randint stops changing values in a loop - Naito - Jan-28-2019
hi! i have a problem i can't understand, randint stops popping new randdom values even if the variables are in the loop:
def pvp():
dicesonboard = []
dicesused = []
dicesonship = []
dicesremaining = []
socres = {}
rounds = 0
print("if you want to quit type quit")
while rounds < 3:
dice1 = randint(1, 6)
dice2 = randint(1, 6)
dice3 = randint(1, 6)
dice4 = randint(1, 6)
dice5 = randint(1, 6)
dice6 = randint(1, 6)
userinput = input("to start the game type throw: ").lower()
rounds += 1
if userinput == "quit":
break
if userinput == "throw":
print("let the game begin")
print("Round", rounds)
dices = [dice1, dice2, dice3, dice4, dice5, dice6]
print("Thrown Dices: ""Dice I: ", dice1, "Dice II: ", dice2, "Dice III: ", dice3, "Dice IV: ", dice4,
"Dice V: ", dice5, "Dice VI: ", dice6)
if 6 not in dicesonship:
if 6 in dices:
print("you have a ship now gather a captain and a crew")
for i in dices:
if i == 6:
dicesonship.append(i)
dicesused.append(randint(1, 6))
breakas you can see, i did put ranind inside of an append fund while looping but the value stays the same Error:Round 1
Thrown Dices: Dice I: 6 Dice II: 6 Dice III: 6 Dice IV: 1 Dice V: 2 Dice VI: 6
you have a ship now gather a captain and a crew
[5] [6]
to start the game type throw: throw
let the game begin
Round 2
Thrown Dices: Dice I: 3 Dice II: 6 Dice III: 4 Dice IV: 5 Dice V: 1 Dice VI: 1
[5] [6]
to start the game type throw: throw
let the game begin
Round 3
Thrown Dices: Dice I: 5 Dice II: 1 Dice III: 6 Dice IV: 6 Dice V: 3 Dice VI: 4
[5] [6]anyone can explain to me how does this work because i just don't get it, thank you!
RE: randint stops changing values in a loop - SheeppOSU - Jan-28-2019
I don't know if this will solve the problem but I thought you have to import random and it should look like this
import random
def pvp():
dicesonboard = []
dicesused = []
dicesonship = []
dicesremaining = []
socres = {}
rounds = 0
print("if you want to quit type quit")
while rounds < 3:
dice1 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice2 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice3 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice4 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice5 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice6 = random.randint(1, 6)
userinput = input("to start the game type throw: ").lower()
rounds += 1
if userinput == "quit":
break
if userinput == "throw":
print("let the game begin")
print("Round", rounds)
dices = [dice1, dice2, dice3, dice4, dice5, dice6]
print("Thrown Dices: ""Dice I: ", dice1, "Dice II: ", dice2, "Dice III: ", dice3, "Dice IV: ", dice4,
"Dice V: ", dice5, "Dice VI: ", dice6)
if 6 not in dicesonship:
if 6 in dices:
print("you have a ship now gather a captain and a crew")
for i in dices:
if i == 6:
dicesonship.append(i)
dicesused.append(randint(1, 6))
break

Obviously 6 is either not in dices, or is in dicesonship, which should be an empty list. Print to see.
RE: randint stops changing values in a loop - Naito - Jan-29-2019
well, that dosen't work, yes i printed the lists too see, what i have copied here is not the ful code, the 6 is in dicesonship but that's not the problem the problem is that the value of ranint is a constant and not random while looping in a while loop.

I could not replicate your problem:
import random
rounds = 0
while rounds < 3:
dice1 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice2 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice3 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice4 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice5 = random.randint(1, 6)
dice6 = random.randint(1, 6)
print(dice1, dice2, dice3, dice4, dice5, dice6)
rounds += 1
1 5 5 4 1 3
5 4 2 5 2 5
4 4 2 4 1 4
