I also encourage you to jump into classes. Yes there is a learning curve. It is IMHO worth it.
Borrowing from Kent Johnson: class Player(object): def __init__(self, name, moveCounter, remainingTime): self.name = name self.moveCounter = moveCounter self.remainingTime = remainingTime Note I capitalized the class name. That's the Python "style". Also refer to the class-based code I wrote for you a week or 2 ago. That should help you. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
