I am going to ( try ) to help with the Spogue project and as such I decided to polish my python programming skills. ( It's like, three years ago and I wasn't that good at it either )
Now, I've gotten past the basics again. I'm going to start a very small project of my own, and for it, I need randomisation ( any with more then ten possible outcomes is fine ).

Now, how do I incorporate a randomisator-thingie in to my program?

Gloat, person. This title is amusing.

EDIT: I can't believe only nine people read this post yet. I mean, look at the title!

Ah. This is very easy.

Code: [Select]

import random

test1 = random.randrange(10)
test2 = random.uniform(0,10)
print test1
print test2
Both will give random numbers. Randrange will give out integers, uniform will give out numbers to the 16th decimal place.

I am currently involved in a project, but I'd love to offer input, try to optimize code etc. This sounds like a great idea, I'm working on a roguelike myself.

All I read was Dire Python.

'Tis a shame you're not using C++. Only because you could then steal Toady's randomiser code (from Battle Champs)...

Err, not that I'm saying it's a good idea or anything...

I thank thee a hunderd times. Let your offspring be rich and numerous.

Have you tried Enzyte?

Why use Enzyte when you can pray to the demon gods for a rich offspring?

Code: [Select]

def menu():
    print "Hello, welcome to guess the number v 0.01."
    print "Press any number to guess ( with a maximum of ten )."
    print "Press both numbers and letters to crash the game. ;)"

print menu()
a = 1
import random
test1 = random.randrange(10)

while a == 1:
 y = input("Prompt: ")
 if test1 != y:
     if test1 > y:
         print "Go higher."
     if test1 < y:
         print "Go lower."
 else:
     print "You win! Have a cookie."
     test1 = random.randrange(10)
     a = 1
Woohoo! Me using the randomiser-thingie effectively for the first time! ^^

Yes, I was bored. I wanted to see if I could come up with something in 30 seconds.

Looks good, but you should use elif after the first of a string of if statments. It can process it better, I believe. Nothing wrong with your program that I can see, good work.

Now make a version with uniform() and watch your friends and family cuss with utter vile anger.

Feed it blueberries, that should solve any constipation.

[Asheron]

I don't know what uniform() is

Code: [Select]

input = input("How many times do you want a random word? ")
b = 0
while input > b:
 import random
 first = random.randrange(10)
 second = random.randrange(11,15)
 if first == 1:
    firstword = "red"
 elif first == 2:
    firstword = "blue"
 elif first == 3:
    firstword = "orange"
 elif first == 4:
    firstword = "green"
 elif first == 5:
    firstword = "purple"
 elif first == 6:
    firstword = "white"
 elif first == 7:
    firstword = "yellow"
 elif first == 8:
    firstword = "black"
 elif first == 9:
    firstword = "brown"
 elif first == 10:
    firstword = "grey"
 if second == 11:
    secword = "diaper"
 elif second == 12:
    secword = "flower"
 elif second == 13:
    secword = "brush"
 elif second == 14:
    secword = "teeth"
 elif second == 15:
    secword = "money"

 print firstword,secword
 b = b + 1
This one cracks me up. However, I should start using lists, since it's a lot more effective and shorter to write.

I don't know what uniform() is

It's another random function, gives a random number with 16 decimal places. It's impossible to guess because.... well, the obvious reasons.

Also... I spotted a little thing at the bottom of that code...

Code: [Select]

b = 0
easy = 0

b = b + 1
easy += 1
if b == easy:
 print "The values are equal"
else:
 print "Well damn, I've messed up."
Just an easier way of writing the same thing.

Oooh... you meant random.uniform(). I thought uniform() was a function on it self.
