100 Days of Code - Day 73

Today was a medium-length day. In four hours I was able to answer Chapter 4's practice questions, and complete the practice projects in Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart. I then moved on and read the entire length of chapter 5 as well as completing the practice questions and coding out the practice projects, except the chess project, I didn't feel like doing that one in all honesty. It didn't seem as fun as the fanstay_game_inventory. Below is the code for each short project I completed. These were a lot of fun!

Comma Code:

import sys


def comma_code(choice_list):
    """ 
    Take any python list and print it out without brackets and 
    separate each index with a comma.
    """

    for object in choice_list:
        sys.stdout.write(object)
        if object != choice_list[-1]:
            sys.stdout.write(', ')


spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']

comma_code(spam)

Coin Flip Streaks:

import random

numberOfStreaks = 0
coin = ['heads', 'tails']
results = []

print('Flipping coin 10,000 times...\n')

for experimentNumber in range(10_000):
    # Code that creates a list of 10000 'heads' or 'tails' values.
    this_flip = (random.choice(coin))
    print(this_flip)
    results.append(this_flip)

    # Code that checks if there is a streak of 6 heads or tails in a row.

    if results[-6:] == ['tails'] * 6 or results[-6:] == ['heads'] * 6:
        numberOfStreaks += 1

percentage = numberOfStreaks / 100
print(f'\nNumber of six in a row streaks that happened: {numberOfStreaks}\n')
print(f'Chance of having six in a row: {percentage}')

Character Picture Grid:

grid = [['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.'],
        ['.', 'O', 'O', '.', '.', '.'],
        ['O', 'O', 'O', 'O', '.', '.'],
        ['O', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'O', '.'],
        ['.', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'O'],
        ['O', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'O', '.'],
        ['O', 'O', 'O', 'O', '.', '.'],
        ['.', 'O', 'O', '.', '.', '.'],
        ['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.']]

# Take grid and rotate it 90 degrees to the right and print it on screen

second_list_count = 0
for i in range(6):
    for i in range(9):
        print(grid[i][second_list_count], end='')

    second_list_count += 1
    print('')

Fantasy Game Inventory:

# Inventories
stuff = {'rope': 1, 'torch': 6, 'gold coin': 42, 'dagger': 1, 'arrow': 12}
stuff_2 = {'gold coin': 42, 'rope': 1}

# Loot of defeated foes
dragon_loot = ['gold coin', 'dagger', 'gold coin', 'gold coin', 'ruby']
troll_loot = ['gold coin', 'spike bat', 'shield', 'troll horn', 'troll horn', 'arrow']


def display_inventory(inventory):
    """ Print out inventory in formatted way. """
    print("Inventory:")
    item_total = 0

    for k, v in inventory.items():
        print(f'\t{v} {k}')
        item_total += int(v)

    print("\nTotal number of items: " + str(item_total))


def add_to_inventory(inventory, added_items):
    """ Take defeated foe's loot and add it to inventory. """
    for item in added_items:
        inventory.setdefault(item, 0)
        new_item_value = inventory[item] + 1
        inventory[item] = new_item_value


add_to_inventory(stuff, troll_loot)

display_inventory(stuff)
