Can anyone tell me why this goofy program won't work?
It keeps telling me that Total isn't defined.

Wheres the rest..
*disclamer i know nothing mroe than VB,HTML,*

Shouldnt the Roll_dice call your Random ints?

or maybe im just missing that somewhere..

O_o

and god, that looks increadibly simple as far as the language goes.. might have to pick up a python book..

Erm.. wait, im wrong..

*ponders a little more*

random.seed() established a pointer in a table of randomly generated numbers. It's just part of a random number generation routine to simulate rolling two dice.

yeah i grabbed python, im tinkering.. been a while since ive touched code tho.. gimme a few, maybe ill get it working lol

ATM, the only thing i can think of, is its wanting TOTAL to be defined by itself O_o

hmm....

Any luck?

"kinda" catching onto this.. Dunno why i keep thinking it all should be pre defined.. god damn VB teacher..

K.. a little more tinkering..

If you just add a number to Total_1 = itll come up saying whatever, problem is, Total (from dice_roll) isnt defined.. Define it..

I know HOW it needs to be fixed, i just dont "know" the code.. sigh, im gonna learn this shit now. lmfao.. 7am and im learning a new language.. good times.. thanks Q3W

fucking loser

hey nightshade.. thanks for this thread.. think i might really enjoy python.. ill keep fucking with this craps thing after work, post or PM me if you get it working before i do, id like to know the solution..

BE MY FRIEND!

Code: Select all

#Craps_Game

import random

random.seed()

def roll_dice():
    r1 = random.random()
    Die_1 = int(6 * r1) +1
    r2 = random.random()
    Die_2 = int(6 * r2) + 1
    Total = Die_1 + Die_2
    return(Total)

Total = roll_dice()
Total_1 = Total
if(Total_1 == 7) or (Total_1 == 11):
    print "Lucky ", Total_1, "! You win!"
elif(Total_1 == 2) or (Total_1 == 3) or (Total_1 == 12):
    print Total_1, "CRAPS! You lose!"
else:
    Total = roll_dice()
    Total_2 = Total
    roll_count = 0
    while(roll_count < 20):
        if(Total_2 == Total_1):
            Total = roll_dice()
            Total_2 = Total
        elif(Total_2 == 7):
            print "Lucky ", Total_2, "! You win!"

Well it's right.
The function roll_dice returns a value (number, whatever) that you need to assign to the variable Total.
Like this:

Total = roll_dice()

What you're doing is simply calling the function (which returns a value) but you're not doing anything with it (you're not storing it in a variable). The definition of the variable Total in the function roll_dice is not public, so it's expected that the bottom part doesn't know it.

edit: fixed the code (with all three calls to roll_dice()) in the quote, I'm not going to bother with the rest but if you need any help just ask.

Seems to work now, just downloaded python and ran the program.
Tip though: you can assign the value of roll_dice directly to total_1, total_2 and total_3 instead of assigning it to Total and then to the other 3.


Just out of interest: what are you using python for? Educational purpose? (never heard of it, actually had to google it to find out what it is).

i was going to suggest the function thing.

The code is awful; you have to indent to create functions etc. C++ is much nicer structered with the braces { }

Yeah, I had the call fucked up, which I suspected from the beginning. Thanks.

Hey GothBoi, glad you like Python, hope it makes up for me shooting your dad.

Python is an interpreted language, not compiled. Different ball for a different game.
