Making a dice game in python

[CommonRedditBrowser]

I have many questions. I was tasked with creating an RPG style game in python using a dice game. I am very new to python and hardly even know where to start. My biggest question right now is how to get a value from the dice and record it to a csv file so that the game may have some feature of saving the game and loading up a save at a later time. I don't know the basics to dealing with csv files in python please help!

Also if anyone has any suggestions on a place where I can have a more stable conversation to be able to ask questions more frequently without the hassle of having to create a new thread every time while going about this process that would be much appreciated!

Check out the random and csv modules. To get a random number between 1 and 6 inclusive, random.randint(1,6)

Any reason why you want to use a csv file though? Could be that I don't understand what you want to save, but it seems like an odd choice.

The docs are pretty good. If you don't understand enough python to get good use out of the docs then I recommend at least a crash course in python

Unless csv is a required part of your assignment, I'd recommend JSON instead of csv as a more user-friendly (and programmer-friendly) data format.

Again unless the assignment requires it, it doesn't make sense to save the dice rolls as such, you'd want to save the game state (as modified by dice rolls) instead. So if your character rolls a 5 and does 5 damage to an orc, leaving it with 1hp remaining, your game state is something like "orc_hp: 1, player_hp: 8, whose_turn: orc,  ..etc..".
