game.py not running (no errors)

I have nearly spent as much time trying to identify the problem with this code as writing it!

I presume it is some sort or indent error although I cant find the problem.

I have tried this locally (python2 and 3) and via the work space. No errors just no game interaction.

I have checked indentation although the code I downloaded from the treehouse site that I can get to work seems to have two spaces in the indentation from column 1 to the start of all def's in the code.

Initially i have some mis-keyed errors that python picked up on and I corrected which makes me think that python is moving through the code but It is not picking up the below setup()?

import sys

from character import Character
from monster import Dragon
from monster import Goblin
from monster import Troll

    def setup(self):
        self.player = Character()

            Dragon()
        ]
        self.monster = self.get_next_monster()

    def get_next_monster(self):
        try:
            return self.monster.pop(0)
        except IndexError:
            return None

    def monster_turn(self):
        if self.monster.acttack():
            print("{} is attacking!").format(self.monster)
        # if so, tell the player
            if input('Do you want to Dodge [Y]es or [N]o?').lower():
                if self.player.dodge():
                #check if the player wants to dodge_limit
                    print('You doged the attack')
                #if so see if the dodge is successful

Hi Malcolm,

Have you tried running the pdb?

Edit - The first thing the game asks the user to do is to write his name. The game does that from character.py. Maybe the problem is there?

Hi Idan,

I have run through it but I have not experience with pdb so will need to look that up and get some understanding of what I am looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion.

My pleasure. If running the game doesn't throw any errors, I would check out character.py and try to see why the line that asks the user for his name doesn't run.
