967 PointsIndentation wrong? Letter game not working
What am I doing wrong here? The console keeps telling me the indentation is wrong on line 37.
Here is my exact code:
import random import os import sys
words = [ 'apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'coconut', 'strawberry', 'lime', 'grapefruit', 'lemon', 'kumquat', 'blueberry', 'melon' ]
def clear(): if os.name == 'nt': os.system('cls') else: os.system('clear')
def draw(bad_guesses, good_guesses, secret_word): clear()
print('Strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bad_guesses))) print('')
for letter in bad_guesses: print(letter, end=' ') print('\n\n')
for letter in secret_word: if letter in good_guesses: print(letter, end='') else: print('_', end ='') print('')
def get_guess(bad_guesses, good_guesses): while True: guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()
if len(guess) != 1:
print("You can only guess a single letter!")
elif guess in bad_guesses or guess in good_guesses:
print("You've already guessed that letter!")
elif not guess.isalpha():
print("You can only guess letters!")
else:
return guess
def play(done): clear() secret_word = random.choice(words) bad_guesses = [] good_guesses = []
while True: draw(bad_guesses, good_guesses, secret_word) guess = get_guess(bad_guesses, good_guesses)
if guess in secret_word:
good_guesses.append(guess)
found = True
for letter in secret_word:
if letter not in good_guesses:
found = False
if found:
print("you win!")
print("The secret word was {}".format(secret_word))
done = True
else:
bad_guesses.append(guess)
if len(bad_guesses) == 7:
draw(bad_guesses, good_guesses, secret_word)
print("You lost!")
print("The secret word was {}".format(secret_word))
done = True
if done:
play_again = input("Play again? Y/N ").lower()
if play_again != 'n':
return play(done = False)
else:
sys.exit()
def welcome(): start = input("Press enter/return to start or Q to quit ").lower() if start == 'q': print("Bye!") sys.exit() else: return True
print('Welcome to Letter Guess!')
done = False
while True: clear() welcome() play(done)

231,236 PointsIt's not your "exact code" if you don't blockquote it — particularly with indentation issues. See the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below for how to display code.
