Help with Magic8Ball (scenes)

[Pythonistapro777]

Magic8Ball is a game that gives you advice.
I've already made the game with 3 scenes.
The first scene (MyScene), says the name of the game.
The second scene (Help), gives instructions.
The last scene (Advice), gives the advice
However, I need help with making the code pick another random advice (answer).

Thank you in advance!

Here's the code:

<pre><code>

from scene import *
from random import *

choice=randint(1,7)
if choice==1:
answer="Go for it!"
elif choice==2:
answer="No way, Jose!"
elif choice==3:
answer="I'm not sure.\nAsk me again."
elif choice==4:
answer="Fear of the\nunknown is\nwhat imprisons\nus."
elif choice==5:
answer="It would be\nmadness to\ndo that!"
elif choice==6:
answer="Makes no\ndifference to\nme, do or don't\n- whatever."
else:
answer="Yes, I think on\nbalance, that is\nthe right choice."

You seem like you have past experience in programming, just not in Python. I could never have pulled off that particle effect, but your code looks to me like a beginner wrote it. There's a lot of redundancy.

[Pythonistapro777]

Yes, I had past experience with python and I'm actually really good at it but I'm still getting used to Pythonista's scenes, layers and everything.

[Webmaster4o]

Great! Good luck :)

[Pythonistapro777]

@Webmaster4o @omz @blmacbeth
I'm about to make another post on a small code I need help with. It would be nice if you guys could look at it.

[ccc]

@Pythonistapro777 It would be great if you could post this code into a GitHub repo.

To do so, go to https://github.com/Pythonistapro777/Magic8Ball and look for a line that has:

• a green icon of arrows on the left followed by
• a Branch: master button followed by
• Magic8Ball / +

If you click on that + you can add a new file to the repo (that part of the UI is not super intuitive!!)

Call the new file Magic8Ball.py and paste in your code. We can then send you code suggestions ("pull requests") which you are free to accept, reject, or ignore until you have the code for a perfect eight ball.

[Pythonistapro777]

Sure, and thanks for the instructions, because I couldn't seem to be able to upload anything I made. :)

[Pythonistapro777]

I'm gonna Finnish my current projects and upload them
with the Magic8Ball. Should be up by the end of this week.

[ccc]

I have a refactored 8ball that I will submit once the repo is ready.

[Pythonistapro777]

Cool, can't wait to see it!

[ccc]

Add an empty Magic8Ball.py to the repo and I will submit a pull request.
