You're encoding a lot of information in your program via numbers, for example the different actions taken or if the player is still alive. The problem with this is that if you're going to return to your code after a leave of some weeks, you're going to be scratching your head about what all numbers mean. To combat this, the best way is to either define several variables holding those numbers (with sensible names of course) and refer to the variables instead of the numbers, or you define an object for each different kind of number you can have, like this:
Code: [Select]
class MenuOptions
    rest = 1
    practice = 2
And make a new MenuOptions object, for example Menu. Then the numbers will be stored in Menu.rest, Menu.practice et cetera. (The numbers are automatically set to the values you supplied in the class description). Advantage to this method is that you can change the values if needed (don't do that unless you're dead-sure you want to), but it takes a little more work.

At first I didnt like how id have to rewrite some into functions, but I think i'll do this suggestion first, as it would be helpful in the long run. Though, i'll keep rewrites to a minimum. This is the first program i am certain I can finish with the knowledge I already have. I want to get it done! even if I do massive rewrites later.

Did a testrun on the OIB calculation and bugfix of my errors. This will be the basis of every stage of every mission, they will follow the same format for the most part. This is probably all I'll get done today as i'm busy. But its some good progress.

http://snipt.org/wkooj

I'm going to think about making a class to streamline mission calculation. Something along the lines of:
Code: [Select]
class stage(oib, tli, etc):
               

Maybe even turning the mission resolution into a function instead of a 'while' loop.

Changelog:

(This format thinking may be obvious to you guys, but i'm learning as I go here, and the process is going well  :D)



what I get is...

Code: [Select]
Performing orbital insertion burn
.
.
.
Orbital insertion burn successful
#this is end of the mission stage#
Splashdown! mission complete.
#this is completion of all stages#

Once this is ironed out, ill be adding seperate descriptions of failures. Instead of simply 'launch failure', it would be either something like, rocket ignition failed to fire, targeting computer malfunctioned, burned up in the atmosphere etc.
Thinking of this I will definitely put the stages inside a function, I will be using it multiple(many many) times.

Just wanted to celebrate, added my first sound to programming yay! intro music from BARIS as a test.


Onto the first sound problem!
If anyone knows, how do I get this to stop? it basicly plays just the sound but doesnt run the program! Just wanted to see if I could get some sound in for future reference.

What I wanted was intro music, which could be skipped by pressing any key etc.

Am working on the astronaut selection now.

I am trying to make the program pick from the list of cosmonauts the highest skilled.

Code: [Select]
Gagarin = ['Gagarin', 3, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Titov = ['Titov', 2, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Nikolayev = ['Nikolayev', 2, 1, 1, 1, 3]
Popovich = ['Popovich', 2, 1, 1, 2, 3]
Bykovsky = ['Bykovsky', 2, 2, 2, 2, 3]
Tereshkova = ['Tereskova', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]
Player = ['Player', 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

Cosmonaut = [Gagarin, Titov, Nikolayev, Popovich, Bykovsky, Tereshkova, Player]

I know a long way to do this - I could make it look over each cosmonaut one at a time comparing it to all the others and choosing the one whom is greater/equal to all the rest.

im trying to think of a loop like code around the lines of...

Code: [Select]
while Cosmonaut[>1] ##I dont know how to make it count the number of 'listsoflists' if thats even possible##
        crewsel = '-1'
        if cosmonaut[crewsel + 1][1] > cosmonaut[1][1]
        del cosmonaut[1]

Anyone know how to do this?

Tereshkova = ['Tereskova', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]
Player = ['Player', 3, 1, 1, 1, 1]

Cosmonaut = [Gagarin, Titov, Nikolayev, Popovich, Bykovsky, Tereshkova, Player]



crewchosen = ''

                if five >= four:
                    if five >= six:
                        if five >= seven:
                            crewchosen = Cosmonaut[4][0]

    if six >= one:
        if six >= two:
            if six >= three:
                if six >= four:
                    if six >= five:
                        if six >= seven:
                            crewchosen = Cosmonaut[5][0]

    if seven >= one:

                    if seven >= five:

Code: [Select]
best = 0
for cosmonaut in Cosmonaut:
    if cosmonaut[1] > best:
        best = cosmonaut
A "for" loop goes through each of the entries in a tuple/list/dictionary. And please, using objects is much more practical than lists, just for the fact you can refer directly to their names.

hm ill have to look into that further, until then I have a crude workaround with partially works. (It will pick the last best, one in the list)

The latest code. Added the astronaut selection + some minor changes.

*note to self. Add crewcheck end.

I fiddled with objects, but wasnt quickly able to turn that into something more useful than a list with the selection process. (Amaturism :D)

Fiddled around with your code a bit. It's slightly less clunky; fixed a bug(you put the end-turn stuff in the practice choice), some typos, and removed unnecessary loops(especially the skill-find one). Of course, I did this only for fun. You're free to use whatever code you want to.

See this part?

    if nationchoice == 'Cosmonaut' or nationchoice == "cosmonaut":
        break
    elif nationchoice == 'Astronaut' or nationchoice == "astronaut":
        break
"break" is a function that breaks the current loop. That way, you can end it without editing the loop conditional. If you have several loops in one loop(bad wording but w/e), it's the latest loop that gets broken.

Gah, I did the cosmonauts in a seperate pad while I was testing, forgot to add the 'moral' statistic! Thanks for the spot!

@Dwarf Thanks for the edits! I'm going to read through them carefully and compare to what I did, so I dont do the same in the future. I need to look at that selection code, I just cant get my head around it ;)

Code: [Select]
                   vostok1crew = Cosmonaut[0][1]
                   
            for cosmonaut in Cosmonaut:
                if cosmonaut[1] > vostok1crew:
                    vostok1crew = cosmonaut[1]

for ?cosmonaut?? in Cosmonaut:
     if ??cosmonaut?? ??number 1?? > vostok1crew:
              vostok crew being ??cosmonaut number 1??
