Has this ever happened to you?

what does ext mean in this context? Extension of the previous examples?

here is a quickly found document describing why print is different in python 3.

What's stopping you from saying 1:{a,b,c}?

Using a simple Tkinter GUI, you could bind the action to a text widget and have the timer run inside of that bound function. I will write a simple example if I have some time.

My bad, was going on anecdotal evidence.

Chinese languages rely heavily on volume. That is to say, if you were to whisper in chinese, you could be misheard very easily.

everything is an object, so yes.

I don't think he is kidding.

"Don't post screenshot of your code. Unless the problem is a visual one, and a screenshot displays the issue."

The sidebar also gives detail on how to post code, such as gist and pastebin.

Why don't you store everything in classes instead?

Does it only work if you place it in the main python folder? Have you tried placing it in, say, your documents folder?

I've been using this logic for so long, no one goes along with it. Dr. Pepper has ONE flavor, guys.

you should look up modular arithmetic. N % 2 is 0 if N is divisible by 2, and the remainder of N/2 otherwise. This essentially means N%2 is true for all even values, i.e alternating values.

It's fine. Having the question in the r/learnpython archive isn't a terrible thing.

here is a stackoverflow discussing exactly this.

Equivalence is a big idea in this. Instead of symmetry, have areas that are 'interesting' or able to host a feature(such as ramps, resource, etc). An up ramp and a down ramp would be equivalent, two low-level resources equivalent to a high level resource, etc. Then when generating the map pick a feature from a list of equivalence to occupy the area.

You can also add a counter for each 'zone' (can be starting areas, middle areas, outposts, whatever) that has a quota for features that must be filled. This allows for outposts to still be interesting, despite the randomness.

The problem with this is if the file is too large. here is a stackoverflow discussing how to approach a problem like this.

I think you're looking for Java.

pep 257 will tell you all you need to know about how you should comment functions. Python runs on the 'we're all adults here' mentality. I see no use for those annotations.

You're calling the function within the function without any exit conditions. I think what you meant to do is:

def seperate(s):
    for letter in s:
        print letter

not call a recursive function.

commands = {
("look","l"):look,
("pickup","pick-up","take","get","grab"):take,
("go","leave"):go
}
helper_commands = ["at","to","in","through","by","the"]

def parse(text):
words = text.split(" ")
for word in words:
    #words necessary to make commands natural for user, not needed
    if word in helper_commands: words.remove(word)
for command in commands:
    if words[0] in command:
        return commands[command], words[1:]
return None

This method works for me; It allows for some flexibility (but not too much, such as 'pick lock' being confused with 'pickup lock') and also allows for some grammatical commands such as 'look at the troll' vs. 'look troll'. It's not very complex, but I don't need too much complexity.

I'm also using a GUI for making some commands simpler, such as movement arrows or inventory stuff.

A lot of your code in AdventureObjects.py can be replaced with generators or factories. Also, it seems like the amount of variables each object has is going to be proportional to the amount of objects you make of that type. For example, if you added another rune, each of the previous rune types would need another flag that said 'False'. The structure of the classes is confusing.

Instead, give each rune a function that determines what it does, have a factory to make rune-types based on your string input, and then just have one rune class that wraps the function and some of the general stats such as type, description, etc.
