Elimination game

[bwbyron]

This is basically what I have. I've commented out all the places where I know what to do, but not how to do it.

PEG_HOLE = 10
PEGGED = "X"

#####################
# Functions you need to fill out

def roll_die():
# This function will simulate rolling two six sided dice
# and return the summation
return total

def create_peg_holes():
# This function createa the initial hole list, consisting of 10 numbers
return pegholes

def valid_moves(pegholes):
# This function will return a list of numbers, which are empty (don't
# have pegs in them), a.k.a., a list of valid moves
return validMoves

def print_peghole(pegholes):
# Print out the pegholes list in this manner:
"""
--------------------------------------------------
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (X) (7) (8) (X) (10)
--------------------------------------------------
"""

def ask_number(question, low, high):
#Ask for a number within a range.

# This function will read a number from the user, which is the number of
# the hole the user want to put the peg in.

# It will return an integer if the number is within range,
# low <= user_input <= high
# and keep looping if the user_input is out of range

def enter_peg(pegholes, roll, total):
# This function asks the user to choose a hole to place the peg
# It will check if the chosen_hole is valid, meaning:
# 1. it is not already pegged
# 2. the total number of all the holes user have chosen in this round
# is not larger than the roll. For example, if the user roll a 6,
# then, user cannot choose, 7/8/9/10 or any combinations that larger
# than 6, such as 2+5, 1+2+4, etc.
# If the chosen_hole is valid, peg the hole. Return both the pegholes list,
# and the move

# Hint: you need to call ask_number() and valid_moves() in this function.
return pegholes, move

#####################
# Main program begins here

#Create the empty peg board
pegholes = create_peg_holes()
#Print the peg board
print_peghole(pegholes)

#Until there are empty peg holes, roll the die
#If it is a losing game, the program will enter an infinite loop
#in the enter_peg function as there will be no valid moves
while valid_moves(pegholes):
rollValue = roll_die()
#Ask user to enter peg for each roll until
#totalPegValue in a round is equal to rollvalue
totalPegValue = 0
while totalPegValue < rollValue:
pegholes, move = enter_peg(pegholes, rollValue, totalPegValue)
#add the value of the move
totalPegValue += move
#print peg board with the new pegged hole
print_peghole(pegholes)

print("You Win.")

If anyone could help me figure out the commented places. I'd greatly appreciate it!

PEG_HOLE = 10

def ask_number():
user_input = int(input("Which peg do you want to put in(1-10)?:"))
if user_input < 1:
print("That is not an option.")
elif user_input > 10:
print("That is not an option.")
elif user_input > 1:
print("You placed a peg on space", user_input,"!")
pegholes.remove(user_input)
pegholes.insert(user_input-1, PEGGED)
else:
print("That is not an option.")
return pegholes]

This is what I've gotten so far. But I'm not sure if these def will work.

How about a more specific question? How would I go about printing pegholes when the list not includes PEGGED which is == to "X"? When I try to print with no PEGGED variables in my list, I'm given a pretty list of everything in pegholes, but as soon as PEGGED is included I get an error message reading:
[Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#196>", line 1, in <module>
enter_peg(pegholes, roll_die)
File "/Users/Brett/Desktop/A201/bwbyron_A8.py", line 57, in enter_peg
return print_peghole(pegholes)
File "/Users/Brett/Desktop/A201/bwbyron_A8.py", line 29, in print_peghole
print("", pegholes[i-1], sep="(", end=") ")
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int']

What should I do about this?

dice2 = random.randint(1,6)
total = (dice1 + dice2)

def roll_die():
dice1 = random.randint(1,6)
dice2 = random.randint(1,6)
total = (dice1 + dice2)
return total

def create_peg_holes():
pegholes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
return pegholes

def print_peghole(pegholes):
print("--------------------------------------------------")
print("", pegholes, sep="(", end=") ")
print("\n--------------------------------------------------")

def ask_number(pegholes):
x = 0
while x != 1:
user_input = int(input("Which peg do you want to put in(1-10)?:"))
if user_input in pegholes:
print("That is a valid move.")
return user_input
x += 1
else:
print("That is not a valid move.")

def enter_peg(pegholes, roll_die):

total = roll_die()
total = int(total)
print(total)
while total != 0:
user_input = int(input("Which peg do you want to put in(1-10)?:"))
if user_input in pegholes:
print("You placed a peg on space", user_input,"!")
pegholes.remove(user_input)
pegholes.insert(user_input-1, PEGGED)
total -= user_input
else:
print("That is not a valid move.")
return print_peghole(pegholes)

while pegholes:
rollValue = total
enter_peg(pegholes, rollValue)
totalPegValue = 0
while totalPegValue < rollValue:
pegholes = enter_peg(pegholes, rollValue)
pegholes
print("You win!")]

This is what I came up with, but it only loops three times and then gives me an error message. What is the problem?

Do not forget to push CODE before pasting code!

[TrustyTony]

You are giving rollValue to enter_peg as function name to call at line 45 even it is getting value of total, which is given value of total value of dice, an integer.
