What greatly puzzles me is that "GAME" prints correctly, but "OVER" does not. Why?
Wow! This is a tricky question, but so obvious in hindsight. The problem is that you have three lines, all in "OVER", that end with a backslash. In Python string literals, backslash-newline is interpreted as a line continuation, so that the next physical line is joined to the current line. Two solutions are: * Add a space to the end of the backslashes. The space is invisible, and some editors may strip it out, so this is a fragile solution. * Change the string to a raw string, r"""...""" so that backslash interpolation is turned off. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
