Assignment creates a name for an object. If you assign the same object to two names, they both are bound to the same thing. If the object is mutable, like a list, changes to the object will be seen regardless of which name you use to refer to it. ** In that case, is it possible to copy a variable by value, instead of by reference, in Python? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] An Introduction and a question
My name is Michael Sullivan. I am a 26 year-old college student in Oklahoma. My wife and I have a small (three PCs) computer network that we operate out of our home. We have our own domain (as one could tell by examining my email address) I have novice-level experience with VB, C/C++, Java, and PHP, but I'm just starting out with Python. Here's the situation: My wife likes to play the game Chuzzle, found at Yahoo Games. We use primarily Linux, however Chuzzle is written as an ActiveX control, which only works on Windows. I have not been able to get Internet Explorer to work correctly through Wine, so I determined to write a Chuzzle-like game (with many of my own enhancements) for Linux. I've been playing around with some Pygame examples lately, and thought that I'd try writing the game in Python (I've been meaning to learn Python for years, but just never got around to it.) Today I started on writing the game. I've decided (at least for now) to call my version, LinePuzzle. For those of you unfamiliar with Chuzzle, here's the basic concept: There are individual pieces of different colors arranged on a grid. The pieces can be moved on a line either vertically or horizontally. The object of the game is to position three similarly colored pieces ajacent to each other. At this point the three pieces will disappear, and the pieces above them will fall to take their place. As the levels progress, locks are added so that the player cannot move a locked piece either horizontally or vertically. The game is over when no more pieces can be removed. I started my script by creating a class called LinePuzzlePiece which represents a single coloured piece. I wanted a random colour chosen from a list to be assigned to the piece, and then to prove that I had it set up correctly, I wanted to call a method that would print out the color of the piece. Here is my code: #!/usr/bin/env python import random import time import math class LinePuzzlePiece: This class defines a single playing piece for LinePuzzle def __init__(self): seed(time) index = int(math.floor(uniform(1, 10))) colorlist = [red, blue, green yellow, purple] self.color = colorlist[index] def printcolor(): print self.color mypiece = LinePuzzlePiece mypiece.printcolor I saved the script and made it chmod +x. However, when I run it, I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ./linepuzzle.py [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Now, I'm no expert, but I really think something should have been printed, if even a blank line. What am I doing wrong here? Why is nothing printing? Is my printcolor method even being called successfully? -Michael Sullivan- ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] An Introduction and a question (continuing)
OK. I've got it working this far. Now I want the script to generate eight pieces, each with a random colour. Here's my current code: #!/usr/bin/env python import random import time import math class LinePuzzlePiece: This class defines a single playing piece for LinePuzzle def __init__(self): random.seed(time) index = int(math.floor(random.uniform(0, 8))) colorlist = [red, blue, green, yellow, purple, cyan, orange, white] self.color = colorlist[index] def printcolor(self): print self.color piececount = 0 mypiece = [, , , , , , , , ] while (piececount 9): mypiece[piececount] = LinePuzzlePiece() mypiece[piececount].printcolor() piececount += 1 The problem is that while eight pieces are created and assigned a colour, the colour is always the same. I need the colours of the pieces to be in a somewhat random order. What am I doing wrong? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
