Instance Methods

when ever i try to create a new character its doesnt let me input name and weapon. What's wrong with my code?

class Character:
  xp = 0
  hp = 10

  def getweapon(self):
    weaponchoice = input("Weapon ([S]word, [A]xe, [B]ow): ").lower()
    if weaponchoice in 'sab':
      if weapon =='s':
        return 'sword'
      elif weapon =='a':
        return 'axe'
      else:
        return 'bow'
    else:
      return self.getweapon()

  def __intit__(self, **kwargs):
    self.name = input('Name: ')
    self.weapon = self.getweapon()

    for key, value in kwargs.items():
      setattr(self, key, value)

Looks like you have a typo. Your code says intit, rather than __init:

def intit(self, **kwargs):

You haven't defined weapon anywhere in your code.

In your getweapon method you have only defined weaponchoice. You've then gone from using 'weaponchoice' to just 'weapon'.

Either use weaponchoice throughout, or change occurences of weaponchoice to weapon, and it should work.
