Can't figure out why this won't run.
import random
CELLS = [(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2),
(1, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2),
(2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)]
def get_locations():
monster = random.choice(CELLS)
door = random.choice(CELLS)
start = random.choice(CELLS)
if monster == door or monster == start or door == start:
return get_locations()
return monster, door, start
def move_player(player, move):
x, y = player
if move == 'LEFT':
y -= 1
elif move == 'RIGHT':
y += 1
elif move == 'UP':
x -= 1
elif move == 'DOWN':
x += 1
return x, y
def get_moves(player):
moves = ['LEFT', 'RIGHT', 'UP', 'DOWN']
if player[1] == 0:
moves.remove('LEFT')
if player[1] == 2:
moves.remove('RIGHT')
if player[0] == 0:
moves.remove('UP')
if player[0] == 2:
moves.remove('DOWN')
return moves
monster, door, start = get_locations()
while True:
moves = get_moves(player)
print("Welcome to the dungeon!")
print("You're currently in room {}".format(player))
print("You can move {}".format(moves))
print("Enter QUIT to quit")
move = input("> ")
move = move.upper()
if move == 'QUIT':
break
if move in moves:
player = move_player(player, move)
else:
print("** Walls are hard. Stop walking into them! **")
continue
if player == door:
print("You escaped!")
break
elif player == monster:
print("You got eaten, dumbass!")
break
I get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dungeon_game.py", line 45, in <module>
moves = get_moves(player)
NameError: name 'player' is not defined

monster, door, start = get_locations()
replace start by player in the above code

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsIt appears your player's initial position is not defined. One solution would be to add near the top of the code:
player = random.choice(CELLS)
