>>> not solved problems: 1) High scores not started. the high score feature would save and read the top high scores for the chosen difficulty and display them in game. See previous posts for a more in depth explanation.
>>> solved problems: 1) difficulty implemented! i did it in sort of a roundabout, not conventional sort of way though. right now it uses buttons, each one with it's own function, to set the range for the number to be guessed. tips are highly appreciated! i would prefer it to use radio button thingies, but i don't know how to do that. heres the code as of now:

ok, im starting to work on the difficulty feature. here's the code to make it display, but i have no idea how to make it do something when you click on ok and choose one.
oh! I just remembered a feature i would like to add: high score saving. how would i: 1) save the top five scores to a text file (xml?). 2) call them back to display them in the game. 3) add a feature after playAgain() to let them enter their name. 4) make the text file have sections for each difficulty, and recall the data for the difficulty that the player selects only.
probably pretty complicated, but thanks for any tips. (NOTE: its pretty obvious, but in order to have #4, i would have to have the difficulties up and running.)
well, i was picturing a popup that had a drop down menu or some radio buttons. i never thought of putting it in the existing reset() function. here's the code:

old (not solved) problems: 1) try... except: when i type in a non-integer answer, it gives me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "guesswithwx.py", line 51, in compare
guess = int(guess)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'g'
any ideas as to what's not working?
2) No idea on how to attempt a difficulty feature. the difficulty feature would put up a dialog or something that would allow the player to choose how difficult the game is (and maybe even allow a custom difficulty feature?). It would take the place of the reset() function in the most recent posting of my script.
solved problems: 1) the "double click" part of the play again dialog was fixed by using else instead of elif.
nothing solved as of yet, but i have a new problem: the try... except part doesn't work. it just says that there's an error in the function and nothing else happens.
ok, new status report: padding problem solved. guessed numbers added, bug free (i think). difficulty not solved. ok double click glitch not solved.
here's what i did to add the guessed numbers feature:
def compare(self,event):
"""
main code for the game. compares the player's guess to the random number generated in reset()
"""
global number, guesses, number_guesses
guess = self.answer.GetValue()
try:
guess = int(guess)
if guess in guesses:
self.prompts.SetValue("You have already guessed that number, try again.")
self.answer.SetValue('')
elif guess == number:
self.prompts.SetValue("Yay!")
number_guesses += 1
self.info.SetLabel("YOU WIN!\nYou guessed " + str(number_guesses) + " time(s).")
self.answer.SetValue('')
wx.FutureCall(200, self.playAgain)
elif guess > number:
self.prompts.SetValue("Nope. Too High.")
guesses.append(guess)
number_guesses += 1
self.info.SetLabel(" You have guessed " + str(number_guesses) + " time(s).\n You have guessed the following numbers: " + str(guesses))
self.answer.SetValue('')
elif guess < number:
self.prompts.SetValue("Nope. Too Low.")
guesses.append(guess)
number_guesses += 1
self.info.SetLabel(" You have guessed " + str(number_guesses) + " time(s).\n You have guessed the following numbers: " + str(guesses))
self.answer.SetValue('')
except TypeError:
self.prompts.SetValue("Invalid Entry")
self.answer.SetValue('')
there is one more thing: when it prints out the guessed numbers, it displays brackets around them ([]). is there a way to remove a specific character from a string?
ok. all questions in the previous post still stand (info "padding", ok double click, and guessed numbers).
but here's a new question: i want to create a way for the player to be able to select which difficulty they want to use. the difference in difficulty would be the range for the rand int part. (ie beginner= 1-50, medium= 1-100, hard= 1-300, expert= 1-500, impossible= 1-10000) i don't really know how to code this. should it be a class based on dialog, or should it be a function with a dialog in it? how would i "call" it if it was a class?
any suggestions? still havent figured out padding or randint, but ill keep working. another thing is that when you win, after the message box pops up, you have to click ok twice to get it to work. im also working on displaying what you have guessed in the "info" section. any ideas as to how to do this?
lol, the only reason this is "hot" is because i keep asking questions and answering them. i still haven't answered the previous question, but here's a new one: how do i set the "padding" of a StaticText object? right now, the text in my static text is just at the edge of the page and doesn't look very good. alternatively, could i set "padding" for the entire frame?
ok. nevermind. got that all sorted out. i'm having a problem with using randint for the number you have to guess, though. it just crashes as soon as you start it when you add that line to the code.
def compare(self,event):
global number
guess = self.answer.GetValue()
if guess == str(number):
self.prompts.SetValue("Yay!")
self.answer.SetValue('You Win!')
else:
self.prompts.SetValue("Nope.")
self.answer.SetValue('')
which is the same as last time, but emitting the try part and just checking the guess variable to the number variable in string form. but that doesn't work for what i want to do later. how do i use try properly in this situation?
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self,None,title="Guessing Game",size = (500,200))
self.answer = wx.TextCtrl(self,style=wx.PROCESS_ENTER)
self.answer.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT_ENTER,self.compare)
def compare(self,event):
global number
guess = self.answer.GetValue()
try:
int(guess)
if guess == number:
self.prompts.SetValue("Yay!")
self.answer.SetValue('You Win!')
else:
self.prompts.SetValue("Nope.")
self.answer.SetValue('')
except TypeError:
self.prompts.SetValue("Not an integer")
def reset(self,event):
global number
number = 2
self.prompts.SetValue("Guess the number I'm thinking of!")
no matter what you enter in 'answer', it always says nope, or doesn't change when you put in a non-integer. any ideas?
ok, all questions i have had have been answered by good ol' youtube, but now i have a new one: how do you set "padding" (like with css) for a static text thing?
and another: what do i put here? i never understand how to read apis. :(
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self,parent,id,title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,wx.ID_ANY,title,size = (1000,500), style= wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE | wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE )
self.control = wx.StaticText(WHAT DO I PUT HERE?)
self.Show(True)
ok, ive come up with a question: if i want to create a simple text enter box thing (like on google or something), what style would i use for TextCrtl? or wouldnt i use that?
in my coding program, it says this line of code is wrong syntax: class Mainwindow() . Why? whenever i add a line above it with just a semicolon (;), it says it isnt bad syntax.
i copied it directly from a tutorial. WHY??? billy
i need some help writing a GUI for the program i'm making. it is a simple text-based number-guessing game and i would like to have the prompts displayed in a nice window.
i would also like to have the "number_guesses" and the "guess_list" variables displayed off to the right of the prompts, and get updated dynamically.
heres my code so y'all can understand what i'm talking about:
import random, time
number = random.randint(1,50)
running = True
guess_str = "Guess the number I'm thinking of between 1 and 50, then press enter: "
number_guesses = 0
play_again = ""
yes_in = ["true", "yes", "t", "y", "affirmitive"]
guess_list = []
def play():
global number, running, guess_str, number_guesses
while running:
guess = raw_input(guess_str)
try:
guess = int(guess)
if number_guesses == 10:
print "Sorry, you lost!"
running = False
elif guess == number:
number_guesses += 1
print "Congrats, you guessed it! It took you", number_guesses, "guesses."
running = False
elif number < guess < (number + 15):
number_guesses += 1
guess_str = "Your guess was a little high... Guess again: "
print "Guesses left: ", (10 - number_guesses)
if guess in guess_list:
guess_str = "You have already guessed that. Try again: "
elif guess not in guess_list:
guess_list.append(guess)
print "You have guessed: ", guess_list
elif number > guess > (number - 15):
number_guesses += 1
guess_str = "Your guess was a little low... Guess again: "
print "Guesses left: ", (10 - number_guesses)
if guess in guess_list:
guess_str = "You have …
