Need help with class project

[FutureDev86]

I have to make this program track how much fuel I have used. I have tried and tried, but I can't get it to work... I'm not at all looking for a solution... I just need a nudge/hint into the right direction.

def main():
    choice = 0
    ammo = 5
    fuel = 200

    while choice != 4 and ammo != 0:

        print "Menu Selections:"
        print "1 - Fire Weapon"
        print "2 - Move Forward"
        print "3 - Move Backward"
        print "4 - Exit"
        choice = input("Enter Your Selection ==> ")
    
        if choice == 1:
            fireWeapon()
            
            ammo = ammo - 1
            if ammo == 0:
                print "You are out of ammo!"
            else:
                print "You have",ammo,"shots left"

        elif choice == 2:
            moveForward(fuel)
            
        elif choice == 3:
            moveBackward(fuel)

        elif choice == 4:
            print "Goodbye!"

        else:
            print "Invalid Input! Try Again."

def fireWeapon():
    distance = input("How far away is your target?")

    if distance <= 20:
        print "Target destroyed!"
    elif distance < 40:
        print "The target is partially disabled"
    else:
        print "Target is unharmed"

def moveForward(fuel):
    path = input("How many feet would you like to move backward?")
    obstacle = input("How many feet away is your nearest obstacle?")
    
    if path - obstacle == path:
        print "You have moved forward",path,"feet."

    if path - obstacle < path:
        distance = path - obstacle
        print "Your path is blocked. You can only move",path,"feet"
        
def moveBackward(fuel):
    path = input("How many feet would you like to move backward?")
    obstacle = input("How many feet away is your nearest obstacle?")
    
    if path - obstacle == path:
        print "You have moved forward",path,"feet."

    if path - obstacle < path:
        distance = path - obstacle
        print "Your path is blocked. You can only move",path,"feet"

main()

well first of all what is going wrong when you try to run it?

[JoshuaBurleson]

and have you tried something like:

def moveForward(fuel):
    path = input("How many feet would you like to move FOREward?")
    obstacle = input("How many feet away is your nearest obstacle?")

    if path - obstacle == path:
        print "You have moved forward",path,"feet."
        fuel-= path
        print('You have', fuel,'units of fuel left')
        return fuel

for each section or possibility?

[JoshuaBurleson]

as this is your first post I should remind you it's polite, but not required to reply with your solution or any further questions. To hit "mark thread solved" for people with similar problems in the future. And, no one minds up voting if you find it appropriate, happy coding!

[JoshuaBurleson]

in case you aren't familiar with -= it is the equivalent of saying var = var - int

Just so you know, I'm also a beginner in python, and programming in general. So I used your assignment to help me with what I'm learning, Classes and methods (non-private for now). I played around a little with the idea of that and here's what I have now.

class Starship(object):
    hp=100
    fuel=100
    ammo=100
    traveled=0
    killed=0

    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name=name
        print('\nAttention Captain of Starship', self.name,'\nit\'s time to make a move!')
    def fireWeapon(self, Enemy):
        try:
            distance=int(input('\nHow far is your target?: '))
            if distance < 10:
                Enemy.hurt(50)
            elif distance > 10 and distance < 51 :
                Enemy.hurt(30)
            elif distance > 50 and distance < 76:
                Enemy.hurt(15)
            else:
                print('Lasers will not do damage at that range')
            Starship.ammo-= 1
            print('\n',Starship.ammo,'percent power left in the lasers')
            print('\nShields at',Starship.hp,'percent captain!')

@pyguy62: unfortunately you had much to correct here my fast work over of your code, basically you are continueing to change the classes instead of having instances. Also you mix too much your output inside the program logic.
