So, essentially, I am trying to make a simple program in python 3 (using CodeHS, if that matters) for a theoretical RPG concept. Basically, it is supposed to take the level increase (which can be decided randomly or by user input) and assign a stat point to a random stat, where the theoretical character gets 1 stat point per level. No matter what I do, the number of levels is inconsistent with the stat values, so a "character" who levels up 43 times might only get 41 stat points. The system that generates stats is in a for loop using the level value as the repeated amount of times. I wish I could provide more information, but I am unaware of what is causing this issue or how to recreate it. I have tried creating multiple "repair sequences". Communication is not my strong point, so I will provide the code (with comments on what each segment does) in all of its glory.
import random
# This area provides instructions for the user.
print("Welcome to the Spellcrest Beta Stat Assigner.")
print("infer your character or enemy is at level 1, and")
print("choose how many levels you want to add. Or leave it random!")
print("the minimum level gain is 1, and the max is 100. No decimals.")
print("starting from other levels is planned... some day.")
print("")
print("Choose Level? (1 for yes, 2 for random level within range.")
# User Input determines how the amount of points are chosen.
randomcheck = int(input("Anything else will randomize it between all possible values [1-100]): "))
# Choosing "1" will let the user select the level.
if randomcheck == 1:
level = int(input("How many levels are gained?: "))
print("")
print("level gain: ")
print(level)
# Error messages prevent going out of intended range.
if level > 100:
print("Level cannot be over 100. Please try a number between 1 and 100.")
quit()
if level == 0:
print("Why are you here if you aren't gaining any levels? (Please try a number between 1 and 100.)")
quit()
if level < 0:
print("Even if losing levels was possible, this program assumes the character is gaining points")
print("from level 1.")
print("Please try a number between 1 and 100... a positve one.")
quit()

As for operating system, I have tried this on both ChromeOS and Windows 10. My general question is, how can I make the two output values match consistently?
