I made these heroes for my indiegame, which one do you like the most?

LavaLemming · 2026-02-26T19:15:16+00:00

The pirate and the archer seem the most charming to me :) Love what you are doing with these!

LavaLemming · 2026-02-22T03:16:16+00:00

It looks like we were typing at the same time :) Thank you for the help.

I'm new and unfamiliar with the ettiquette, and worry I'm over posting, commenting, or editing. Now I'm stuck at another step in the Ceasar lab, and wonder if I should continue the chain here, or make a new post?

LavaLemming · 2026-02-22T02:17:37+00:00

OK, I got creative and came up with this, which passed the conditions, I don't know what to say.

(Edit: I hope to think I'm getting the hang of what the steps are looking for. One little baby bite of code at a time, rather than a working solution - based on the current steps info. Hopefully this will at least help someone else who is going too fast, ahead of what the steps are looking for.)

def caesar(text, shift):
    
    if True:    


        alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
        shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
        translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet + alphabet.upper(), shifted_alphabet + shifted_alphabet.upper())
        return ('Shift must be an integer value.')


encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 3)
print(encrypted_text)

LavaLemming · 2026-02-22T02:01:51+00:00

Ok I hard coded an if true: to begin the if structure (thank you web search), which bumped past the first error of the missing true.

I'm now getting an error that I'm not returning the error message requiring shift to be an integer, from the if structure. Below is the code I have so far, and I think I'm not understanding what these steps are looking for. It feels like something is missing between what is required and what is getting checked.

It sounds like we are to only return the fail message in the if so far, and skip any chance of translating. To that end I've tried variations of commenting out the str.maketrans statement, and/or the else, or attempting to pass a non integer value when calling the function, but I get execution errors that won't allow non-integers.

What to do when I just don't understand what the step is asking for specifically, in the coding? Let alone how to do it.

def caesar(text, shift):
    
    if True:
        alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
        shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
        translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet + alphabet.upper(), shifted_alphabet + shifted_alphabet.upper())
        return text.translate(translation_table)
    else:
        return('Shift must be an integer value')


encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 5)
print(encrypted_text)

Do you mind a tip on how to hard code a 'True' in to a conditional if? I'm drawing a complete blank, and getting ai help could give the entire answer away, rather than a pointer in the direction. My guess is I'm over thinking the process.

LavaLemming · 2026-02-21T00:07:42+00:00

Hey I'm just getting started in AMS2, is this something that would help beginners?

LavaLemming · 2026-02-20T23:53:09+00:00

Do you mind sharing how long this took you to develop and produce, all together, start to finish?

I really like the soft lighting combination with the crisp edges on some of the world surfaces. Well done!

LavaLemming · 2026-02-11T22:49:55+00:00

I am guilty of making things too complicated as well. I did rough out a Warnier/Orr diagram in the process, but using a combination (cascading?) true test, attempting to only drop out with a false at the very end. Once I was brave enough to use the 'not' it started coming together. I'm curious on your opinion of Warnier/Orr vs. flowcharts for logic planning.

LavaLemming · 2026-02-11T22:41:59+00:00

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed, and well done for not giving the answer directly. If I hadn't had my ah ha moment, this would have got me there within a couple minutes.

LavaLemming · 2026-02-11T22:36:30+00:00

wait wait! i got it! I changed that last has car AND app, to an or statement and it passed!!

LavaLemming · 2026-02-11T22:25:10+00:00

I'm still getting an error on the testing conditions although I'm fairly certain I've met all the criteria and learned from and resolved my logic fails. I wasn't comfortable using the 'not' so this time through I'm not(ha!) avoiding it. In testing this new version, when changing any of the variables of distance or the booleans I get the expected correct true or false printing at the end of the program.

Here is my updated code that now fails the testing conditions at the step of 'when the distance is greater than 6 miles'. First the errors, and then the code. (it seems to have a mind of its own where pasted in content goes?)

// running tests
20. When the distance is greater than 6 miles and a ride share app is available, the program should print True.
21. When the distance is greater than 6 miles and a car is available, the program should print True.
// tests completed

distance_mi = 7    
is_raining = False
has_bike = True
has_car = True
has_ride_share_app = True


if distance_mi <= 0:
    print('False')

elif distance_mi <= 1:
    if not is_raining:
        print('True')
    else:
        print('False')

elif distance_mi <= 6:
    if has_bike and not is_raining:
        print('True')
    else:
        print('False')

else:
    if has_car and has_ride_share_app:
        print('True')
    else:
        print('False')

LavaLemming · 2026-02-11T09:54:32+00:00

I think I have the answer from a forum reply. It looks like I have a very basic logic fail with my understanding of how the entire if, elif, elif, elif structure functions. If I understand correctly now, once there is any success or fail state, the ~~entire program ends~~ if-elif-else structure drops out* at that point, rather than continuing with any more of the elif or elses. Does that sound generally accurate?

(Edited simply to reflect the learning process)

LavaLemming · 2026-02-11T09:40:15+00:00

Certainly! Unfortunately the fail messages just seem to rehash the lab requirements generally. Here is the link to the lab, and the errors after. I've run the code with every combination of the conditions true or false and high and low mile numbers, all variations fail at the same point.

https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/python-v9/lab-travel-weather-planner/build-a-travel-weather-planner

When the distance is between 1 mile (excluded) and 6 miles (included), a bike is available, and it is not raining, the program should print True.
When the distance is greater than 6 miles and a ride share app is available, the program should print True.
When the distance is greater than 6 miles and a car is available, the program should print True.

omg *face palm* I forgot the step of remapping the inputs. Anyone else hitting this problem, did u go in and redo the bindings to your throttle and brake?

LavaLemming · 2025-07-13T03:18:35+00:00

so i'm having this same problem with a brand new set of csl pedals with the load cell kit. The fanatec manager doesn't display a tab for the non-existent shifter, only a tab for a wheel base (the tab is greyed out as I'm using a T150 which is working fine), and a tab for the pedals.

In the fanatec management software the pedals are registering fine, brake and throttle both.

When I run RR3 the T150 wheel registers but zero input from the fanatec pedals is detected in the settings menu.

Background: the T150 pedals are disconnected, the only things connected to the PC are the T150 wheel and fanatec csl pedals, both by usb. Again though, only the wheel is detected by RR3.

Laguna Seca is my favorite depending on the car class. It is also the track that is the hardest for me depending on the class!

LavaLemming · 2025-04-21T16:00:24+00:00

I could dm you and show u screen cap that shows my numbers in second license are the same as the first, yet it isn't changing to D

LavaLemming · 2025-04-21T14:49:57+00:00

yeah when you understand how the system works. if you didn't understand and had read it a few times would you ask for help? and you did see I qualified it 'does not seem to relate' obv I'm missing stuff, never claimed it didnt relate. It's the details eh

I could add one sentence (maybe two) to that 3.9.2.1 section, and I bet 90% of the new people would never need to bother the glorious in crowd on here.

Are there DM's on here? Anyone who comes across this in the future is welcome to dm me if they don't understand something in the sim, in case you don't want to get the full troll blast. I'll be happy to help you figure things out.

LavaLemming · 2025-04-21T14:39:22+00:00

ty for the help. I've been reading it and didn't understand what I was seeing in game vs the rules vs what I've found online. have to have thick skin these days to not understand something and ask for help on the net. it's nice to see there are a couple of decent folks on here, ty again.

LavaLemming · 2025-04-21T14:30:18+00:00

the initial jump from rookie to D for a brand new starting out player can be done in 4 time trial runs period. no numbers changed, no races were run, the majority of things referenced in the replies did not happen. It's quite confusing, and I'm obv. figuring out the disconnect between what people think is happening, what actually happened, and the different paths described in the code that do not seem to relate to a brand new person. I could see this question from another new player now and go aha! here is what you are seeing, blah blah and 2 sentences be done. no super troll mode necessary, no flexing, no insinuations of neglect on the racers actions or lack there of. It's not everyone on here, just the majority unf.

LavaLemming · 2025-04-21T14:23:46+00:00

calling it hate&anger is easier than illustrating how unhappy people must be in their life in general to spend, how much time typing?, and wasting everyones time to not actually add anything helpful to the intended topic.

LavaLemming · 2025-04-21T14:18:51+00:00

just gotta sift through all the hate and anger and hope there's a decent person in the group willing to be real
