I need help using Class methods in another class. I have a class called
Critter and I want to create two critters in a farm Class Farm and use
Class Critter's methods
# A virtual pet to care for
class Critter(object):
"""A virtual pet"""
def __init__(self, name, hunger = 0, boredom = 0):
self.name = name
self.hunger = hunger
self.boredom = boredom
# __ denotes private method
def __pass_time(self,farm):
self.hunger += 1
self.boredom += 1
self.__str__()
def __str__(self,farmlet):
print("Hunger is",self.hunger, "Boredom is " ,self.boredom)
print("Unhappines is ",self.hunger + self.boredom," and Mood is
",self.mood)
@property
def mood(self):
unhappiness = self.hunger + self.boredom
if unhappiness < 5:
m = "happy"
elif 5 <= unhappiness <= 10:
m = "okay"
elif 11 <= unhappiness <= 15:
m = "frustrated"
else:
m = "mad"
return m
def talk(self):
print("I'm", self.name, "and I feel", self.mood, "now.\n")
self.__pass_time()
def eat(self):
food = int(input("Enter how much food you want to feed your critter:
"))
print("Brruppp. Thank you.")
self.hunger -= food
# hunger = 0 at iniatition
# self.hunger = self.boredom - food
if self.hunger < 0:
self.hunger = 0
self.__pass_time()
def play(self):
fun = int(input("Enter how much fun you want your critter to have:
"))
print("Wheee!")
self.boredom -= fun
# boredom = 0 at iniatition
# self.boredom = self.boredom - fun
if self.boredom < 0:
self.boredom = 0
self.__pass_time()
class Farm(Critter,hunger = 0,boredom = 0):
#A collection of Critters
def __init__(farmlet, name):
for critter in farmlet:
critter.name = name
critter.hunger = hunger
critter.boredom = boredom

farmlet.hunger = 0
farmlet.boredom = 0
farm = Farm.__str__(farmlet)
choice = None
while choice != "0":
print \
