Re: [Tutor] Passing perimeters in dictionary values?

Erm, it's still not working... Whenever I try to use the talk method (which reports the mood, and doesn't take parameters), it says I gave it too many parameters. Maybe it might help if I posted the code in it's entirety # Critter Caretaker # A virtual pet to care for class Critter(object):

[Tutor] Passing perimeters in dictionary values?

I'm experimenting with OOP using the Critter Caretaker script from Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner as my basis. I've noticed that a dictionary/function combo is a great way to handle menus, and so I've adapted the menu to read as: selection = raw_input("Choice: ") choices = {"0":quit

Re: [Tutor] Creating sub-menus?

Okay, so I changed line 84 from: current_menu to: choice = current_menu, and the menu prtion seems to work fine. Only problem now is, once I select a formula, it repeats that function over and over again, never going back to a menu. Should I just add something like: choice = current_menu to ea

[Tutor] Creating sub-menus?

I was reading the Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python, and became really proud of myself when I realized I could create a menu for functions. I decided to try to take this one step further and see if I could create not just a menu, but a menu with sub-menus, too! Ultimately, the idea I came up wit

Okay, I'm resurrecting this project. I did a little more work on it then what you see here, but that ended up getting accidentally deleted, and I haven't done anything with Python since. I'm running into one problem already, and I haven't really added any extra code. In the content (at this point,

[Tutor] Hands-on beginner's project?

I'm very new to Python, and (to a slightly lesser extent) programming in general. I'd like to get some experience by practicing simple-yet-functional programs, with a bit of an emphasis on games. The first game I'd like to attempt would be a simple, non-linear story, similar to those choose-your-ad
