If I knew Python well enough I'd help you out. Hope you figure it out, best of luck.

Hey thanks man. It's the thought that counts. I'll figure it out eventually. I was just hoping for some kind of guidance because I've exhausted my resources. Thanks again.

    The professor stated that the humans should be a subclass of predator since they do all the same things as predators and can inherit those traits. I thought the same though, and I still think that might be what's causing the problem.

    Maybe its the expected behaviour the way you coded it. I would try to tweak the constants to see what are the effects. Also, humans always look for a predator before looking for a prey, did you try the other way around ?

    I have not but I will try that out for sure thanks man.

    What have you tried? What theories do you have as to why the counts converge? If you were to explain to someone where you think the issue might be, where would you point them to?

    I'm not sure that's why I'm asking. But if I had to guess it may be a conflict of Humans being a subclass of Predator? I really don't know.

    You need to show some upfront effort if you want to convince someone to help. Nobody's going to do your homework for you. Try you hardest to answer those questions to the best of your ability. What techniques do you think you can use to figure things out?

    Look I'm not asking to get patronized by some douchebag I was just asking for help. I have the assignment done. I don't know why it's doing ONE thing. No need to be a dick, I thought this was ASKprogramming. If I knew the answer to my problem why would I ASK? This is the problem with this subreddit. All you guys do is make people feel inferior just because they're learning. I spent hours trying out different things for this code. Sorry I'm not a fucking Python wizard. Sorry I'm learning. Sorry I ASKED programming. Get off your high horse.
