5,011 PointsKeep getting an error in WorkSpaces when trying to import class Goblin(Monster).
Here is the code from the lesson:
import random
COLORS = ['yellow', 'red', 'blue', 'green']
class Monster(object):
min_hit_points = 1
max_hit_points = 1
min_experience = 1
max_experience = 1
weapon = 'sword'
sound = 'roar'
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.hit_points = random.randint(self.min_hit_points, self.max_hit_points)
self.experience = random.randint(self.min_experience, self.max_experience)
self.color = random.choice(COLORS)
self.weapon = kwargs.get('weapon', 'sword')
self.sound = kwargs.get('sound', 'roar')
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def battlecry(self):
return self.sound.upper()
def battle_move(self):
return self.weapon.upper()
class Goblin(Monster):
max_hit_points = 3
max_experience = 2
sound = 'squeak'
And here is the error I keep getting now:

I was able to import the Goblin before. Not sure what I did to mess it up.
