I am a relatively new python user. I am writing an economic simulation of a
card-game. The simulation runs fine for a few iteration but then it gives an
error of "list index out of range."
The strange thing is that it will sometimes run for 10 iterations sometimes for
only a few and sometimes won't run at all (seemingly arbitrary).
Here is some of the code:
for _ in range(100):
handA=deal_hand(DECK) #deals 2 'hole' cards from a DECK
handB=deal_hand(DECK)
print handA
print handB
deal_flop(handA,handB,DECK) #appends 3 cards to handA and handB
deal_current(handA,handB,DECK) #appends one more card
deal_rake(handA,handB,DECK) #appends one more card
DECK.extend(list(set(handA+handB))) #returns the cards to the DECK
print winner(handA,handB) #returns 0-draw 1 -playerA win, 2-playerB win
The error message is :
['08C', '10H']
['07S', '03C']
--------
['06C', '02H']
['04D', '12S']
--------
['11H', '14S']
['06S', '04S']
--------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\Other Stuff\POKER4.py", line 267, in <module>
handB=deal_hand(DECK)
File "G:\Other Stuff\POKER4.py", line 13, in deal_hand
HAND.append(deck[i])
IndexError: list index out of range
In this case it ran 3 times. It will sometimes run for up to 9-10 times. It
seems to be arbitrary but I can't get it to run more than 12 times.
Here is the code for the --deal_***-- functions:
def deal_hand(deck):
HAND=[]
for _ in range(2):
i=random.randint(0,len(deck)) #produces a random card from the deck
HAND.append(deck[i]) # appends the card to the players' hand list
deck.remove(deck[i]) #removes the card from the deck
return HAND
def deal_flop(hand1,hand2,deck):
for _ in range(3):
i=random.randint(0,len(deck))
hand1.append(deck[i])
hand2.append(deck[i])
deck.remove(deck[i])
I would appreciate any help with this
Thanks
George
