Breaking down long function - LucasLambert - Mar-30-2017
Hey there.
I need some help and guidance in breaking down a long function but can seem to grasp exactly how....:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :) Onelove!
def play_game():
level = get_level()
quiz = game_data[level]['quiz']
print quiz
answers_list = game_data[level]['answers']
blanks_index = 0
game_over = 0
answers_index = 0
guesses = 3
while blanks_index < len(blanks):
user_answer = raw_input("So what's your answer to question " + blanks[blanks_index] + "? : ")
if check_answer(user_answer,answers_list,answers_index) == "right_answer":
print "nice job! that is the right answer!\n"
quiz = quiz.replace(blanks[blanks_index], user_answer.upper())
blanks_index += 1
answers_index += 1
guesses = 3
print quiz
if blanks_index == len(blanks):
time.sleep (3)
else:
guesses -= 1
if guesses == game_over:
print "Wawaooohh, you lost..... :("
time.sleep (3)
break
else:
print "please try again. one guess down."

This is a bit convoluted. Could you please show blanks
RE: Breaking down long function - LucasLambert - Mar-30-2017
Hey sorry, It's quite a long piece of code.
Essentially I have helper functions:
get_level: User inputs raw_input
check_answer: confirms from my dictionary list, answers and returns.. If correct or not...
blanks = ["__1__","__2__","__3__", "__4__"]
