This is a text mailing list, italics aren't generally visible. If you want to highlight a line, add a useful comment to it. But the problem here is your scoping. All those globals make no sense, since the keyword only has an effect inside a function. Then you define a function simpstart(), but it's only four lines long, consisting of four more global statements. in other words, the function does nothing. Then after some more top-level code, you define another function path_lpt1(), but the definition is inside a conditional. This is legal, but not likely what you intended to do. Then you define another function path_lpt2(), but end it suddenly after the line p6=raw_input(.... I'd expect the next line to get an error, referencing an unknown p6. You have a line health=100 immediately after a return statement, so it'll never execute. And as Oscar points out, you have a return at top-level code, which is to say, not inside any function. Not sure where you got this code, but there's probably lots more wrong; I only really looked at the indentation. I think you're confusing defining a function with calling it. And i suspect you typed the whole thing from a book or something, and just got the whole indentation wrong. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
