In levels like “Shine Getter” you are teaching players to write bad code. The template says:
coinIndex = 0
# Wrap this into a loop that iterates over all coins.
coin = coins[coinIndex]
# Gold coins are worth 3.
if coin.value == 3:
# Only pick up gold coins.
pass
This leads to
coinIndex = 0
while coinIndex < len(coins):
coin = coins[coinIndex]
# Gold coins are worth 3.
if coin.value == 3:
# Only pick up gold coins.
pass
coinIndex += 1
which is ugly, unidomatic python code. Instead one should end up with
for coin in coins:
# Gold coins are worth 3.
if coin.value == 3:
# Only pick up gold coins.
pass
i think these for loops are never explained, or ive forgotten that. they were just used i think in the first or secon level woth Boss star 1. a beginner level would be great i think. can sb work on this?
can someone help on this its saying X underneath hero but not showing anything wrong in the text (if this is in the wrong place please tell me (new to this))
loop:
# Collect gold.
coin = self.findItems()
gold = self.findNearest( golds )
self.moveXY( gold.pos.x , gold.pos.y)
# If you have enough gold, summon a soldier.
if self.gold > self.costOf("soldier"):
self.summon("soldier")
# Use a for-loop to command each soldier.
# For loops have two parts: "for X in Y"
# Y is the array to loop over.
# The loop will run once for each item in Y, with X set to the current item.
for friend in self.findFriends():
if friend.type == "soldier":
enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
# If there's an enemy, command her to attack.
if enemy:
self.command( friend, "attack", enemy )
# Otherwise, move her to the right side of the map.
else:
pos = {'x':82, 'y':33}
self.command( friend, "move", pos )
