heres a partial solution. theres no error checking on the Raw Input and you
have to type in you last number and press return, before the loop will
break, but its a start!
#!/usr/bin/python
# Filename : math_test.py
import time
import threading
class Timer(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, seconds):
self.runTime = seconds
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
global running
time.sleep(self.runTime)
print " "
print "Buzzz!!! Time's up!"
running = False
t = Timer(30)
t.start()
import random
startNum = random.choice(range(1, 9))
newNum = startNum + 7 # im assuming you want the first number the user to
type as the startnum +7,its not too clear.
score = 0
running = True
print 'Start with the number ', startNum, '. Then continuously add 7 to
that number until the timer runs out. You have 30 seconds.'
while running:
print running
answer = int(raw_input('Enter your answer: '))
if running == True:
if answer == newNum:
print 'That is correct! Keep going.'
score = score + 5
newNum = newNum+7
print 'Your score is ', score
else:
print 'That is incorrect. Please try again.'
print ' '
print 'you total score was ', score
