Beginners question

[Youmanity]

Hi. I am a guy with a Java background learning Python. I wrote a small text-based game. I created a __main__ class and a class called CharacterCreation. The second has two functions in it. Weird thing is, if I launch the program I am able to fire the first function, but an error occurs before the second is fired , self.class_strenght() . Could anyone please advice what Iam doing wrong?

This is my console output:

What is your name?d
My name is d
Nice to meet you d !
What class are you? You can choose warrior, priest, mage or thief!thief
thief
are you sure? Yes or No?yes
Error

---> error is where self.class_strenght() should be called

This is my __main__ :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

import characterCreation   def main():     characterCreation.CharacterCreation().controller()     if __name__ == "__main__":     main()

This is my characterCreation file:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54

#Character creation:   import random import time   class CharacterCreation(object):       def charCreate(self):         protagonist_name = input('What is your name?')         print('My name is', protagonist_name)             time.sleep(1)         print('Nice to meet you', protagonist_name,'!')         time.sleep(1)           flag = 'no';                   while (flag == 'no'):             protagonist_class = input('What class are you? You can choose warrior, priest, mage or thief!')             prot =  protagonist_class.lower()               print(prot)                               while(prot !='warrior' and prot != 'priest' and prot != 'thief' and prot != 'mage'):                 print('You did not pick a class, please try again')                 protagonist_class = input('What class are you? You can choose warrior, priest, mage or thief!')                 prot =  protagonist_class.lower()                         flag = input('are you sure? Yes or No?').lower()                                         def class_strenght(self):         prot = ''         if prot == 'warrior':             power = random.randint(10, 18)             print('Your strenght is', power)         elif prot == 'priest':             power = random.randint(8, 16)             print('Your strenght is', power)         elif prot == 'thief':             power = random.randint(6, 14)             print('Your strenght is', power)         elif prot == 'mage':             power = random.randint(4, 12)             print('Your strenght is', power)         else:             print('Error')       def controller(self):         self.charCreate()         self.class_strenght()

To make a variable part of the object. You have to put self in front of it.

1	self.prot = 'class'

Otherwise it a local variable.

You also misspelled strength.

---

line 24 could also do.

1	while(self.prot not in ['warrior', 'priest', 'thief', 'mage']):

Ofc....didnt think of that. No scope no result:P

And thanks for the while tip. Gonna test it out now:)

example . Could also do something like this.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46

import random   class Character:     @classmethod     def create(cls):         character = cls()           while len(character.name) < 3:             character.name = input('What is your name? >> ')           while character.klass not in ['warrior', 'priest', 'thief', 'mage']:             character.klass = input('What class are you? You can choose warrior, priest, mage or thief! >> ')             sure = input('Are you sure? Yes or No? >> ')             if sure.lower() in ['no', 'n']:                 character.klass = ''           if character.klass == 'warrior':             character.power = random.randint(10, 18)             character.health = random.randint(8, 12)         elif character.klass == 'priest':             character.power = random.randint(8, 16)             character.health = random.randint(6, 10)         elif character.klass == 'thief':             character.power = random.randint(6, 14)             character.health = random.randint(5, 8)         elif character.klass == 'mage':             character.power = random.randint(4, 12)             character.health = random.randint(4, 6)           return character       def __init__(self):         self.name = ''         self.klass = ''         self.power = 0         self.health = 0       def __repr__(self):         return 'Character({name}, {klass}, {power}, {health})'.format(**vars(self))   def main():     myCharacter = Character.create()     print(myCharacter)   if __name__ == '__main__':     main()

Sorry I missed your last post! But I got it fixed with your first:) Works like a charm. Thanks for your help:)
