- Whats the purpose of 'random' here?(I meant why random is imported)
random is imported to gain access to the choice and the randint methods. choice() selects a random choice from a list. It is being used in the Monster class __init__ method to pick the color. randint is used to set the hit_points and experience attributes.
- How azog.hit_points becomes 2? what's the purpose of initializing min_hit_points,max_hit_points and min & max_experience?
azog is a Goblin. The class Goblin overwrites the attribute max_hit_points inherited from Monster. When a new Goblin is created, the __init__ method also inherited from Monster executes which sets hit_points. The self.max_hit_points used is the overwritten value in Goblin which has precedence over the value in the Monster parent class.
Does this make it clearer now?
