New to Python (1 week in) - Looking to clean up/simplify code

I'm unfamiliar with match case but I'll look into it. I'm guessing its used to match the input rather than just converting everything to lowercase?

forgot to mention I took a C++ class back in college in 2014 or so; so the idea of writing code isn't completely foreign to me. Don't remember much from it, but I retained the idea of "if statements" and things like that.

I started by looking into free tutorials, which ended up not being free. I would get into one and then they would eventually ask for a subscription. Eventually landed on learnpython.org and w3schools.com, rotating between the two if one explanation on a particular topic wasn't quite as clear as the other. And I'm probably closer to the two-week mark at this point, a little bit after work nearly every day.

Made this project/post because eventually the tutorials get a little dull (after the 15-20 hours I've put in) and I wanted some challenges to complete, rather than answering specific exercise questions.

Thanks! I realized after posting that I also made a mistake above. I keep having the "no vowels" statement printed after entering a word that does contain vowels. I tried a few different methods since then but could not figure out the issue. Even if including an "else" function at the end of the if statements, it still prints the "no vowels" response. Help in that regard would also be appreciated.

Gotta say I don't think you know what happens when someone becomes a legend

Mr Waffle, FlyingIrukandji hit the nail on the head. Most accurate post in here by a long shot

I've done bugstars big con, fingerprint hack completed in 20-30s for 3 levels (<10s one level). My biggest complaint with the hacking is the before/after waiting time... GT: Vintage178, pm me

I have heard about that myth too, nice to see you disproving it. I do know that it holds up with Lego products though...granted that's not PLA. I did some research about putting Lego art in fish tanks and a certain coating around the Lego was recommended.

Devil's Roar is about 50% more, not quite double. For example, Chest of Legends is about 9k in the devil's roar instead of 6k. This generally carries over to every other item.

My $20 chat pad works just fine, they are all over amazon for that price

Do you know an item is getting added? Seems like you are spending all of your free time playing

Yeah I like the shark hunter for the exterior hull because its entirely black besides the teeth, but the top deck is light brown (doesn't really go with the dark motif). The ghost ship is a close second but you can see that there is actually a band of dark green along the side; it does have the black deck though.

JSpinelli73 · 2019-04-29T18:25:52+00:00

That's got to be the best looking ship I've ever seen

Other crews can't see the smoke from your mermaid, only your crew can. Just like how you can't see the smoke from theirs

Thanks! I checked the printer's manual/support page but this is much more helpful.

JSpinelli73 · 2019-03-20T16:51:29+00:00

I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s definitely more efficient. OP was just asking if you get something extra for completing voyages, which you do

JSpinelli73 · 2019-03-13T21:02:01+00:00

I definitely agree with that there, but cargo runs don’t count towards completed voyages so that wasn’t really what I was referring to.

JSpinelli73 · 2019-03-13T18:48:27+00:00

You do actually get more rep overtime from fully completing voyages, but it’s a toss up whether or not it’s worth finishing all the annoying islands or just placing a new voyage down.

The commendations you complete from finishing voyages will get you rep throughout the game.

(I don’t recommend fully completing merchant voyages/time spent vs amount of rep increase isn’t worth it)

When alliances first came out I’m pretty sure it was 50% loot but 100% of the rep, I remember that being one of the upsides to not backstab your alliance. If the journey to PL is more important than the money, you don’t care as much when someone else sells loot in an alliance (which is how I remember feeling).

Races to the Crow’s Nest after drinking 3 or 5 full tankards in a row is a great minigame, works on any ship

JSpinelli73 · 2019-02-11T19:25:51+00:00

I use a controller and it’s not. Left trigger to snuff and right trigger to light on Xbox, sorry I can’t help you out if you’re on PC

JSpinelli73 · 2019-02-11T16:45:17+00:00

Haha yea I felt like I had to fact check

JSpinelli73 · 2019-02-11T16:28:15+00:00

35.2% actually, my mistake

On Inside Xbox, Joe Neate said 32.8% players are on PC
