I'm a relative beginner in python and I'm having some trouble with a code I'm creating.

Question

I am trying to code a sequence where the user finds an item. and the system saves it
def user_resp():
user_resp == str(raw_input(""))
print ("you found a sword!")
print ("pick up the item?")
user_resp = str(raw_input(""))
if user_resp == str("yes"):
print ("you picked up the sword!")
item == sword
else:
print ("you discarded the item.")
I'm not sure how to define item so that I can put sword or other items into it so it can be called later such as in a fight event.

Answer 1

I was thinking about something last this:

Answer 2

First of all, if you plan on testing your code in SoloLearn, it must be written in Python3, so with input() instead of raw_input()

Normally, you could create a new class called Weapon() and call instances of it like: longsword, broadsword, short sword, axe and all that. Each could have an attack, defense and to-hit attribute, which would vary between the weapons.

You already know something about object-oriented programming?

Answer 3

Yes, just wrote it although it's heavily borrowed from my Animal park code I wrote the other day. This is the power of OOP - you create a class to suit your needs and call objects (instances of this class) when they are needed.

I would imagine you have a Player class which has, apart from traditional set of attributes like Strength, Power, Endurance, Mana and alike, also a PrimaryWeapon which can assume values of a Weapon type. You then just call its .attack() method and print out a respective message (while dealing some decent damage to whatever you are hacking ;)

Answer 4

actually I'm using an app called QPython so it still compiles. and no I don't have any knowledge about object oriented programming. could you show me an example of what that code would look like?

Answer 5

XD that's awesome! did u just make that?? I've got to say I'm really impressed! and that code definitely looks like what I'm trying to do. i haven't tried compiling your code yet. but it looks right.
