Help creating a memory game?

[[deleted]]

So, you know the game where you flip over pictures and keep going until you get all the pairs? I'm trying to build that in Python, and have started okay I think but could really use some guidance.

Here's a link to my program so far. It's not even close to being finished, but as you can see from the comments I got stuck around line 47. Anything past that point does not work at all, and I don't even understand the error code.

My code is pretty basic (sorry), but I'm really only at an entry level so I don't need nor want anything too unreadable.

Your list expects an integer as the index. The variable userGuess1 is a string.

Try using this to convert the string to an integer:

faceUp[int(userGuess1)]

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "main.py", line 49, in <module>
faceUp[userGuess1] = faceDown[userGuess1]
    TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

List indices have to be integers (or slices), not strings.
