Python

'randinit' not detected for 'random'

I'm using 'import random' at the top of my monster.py file, and I keep having issues with python saying "module 'random' has no attribute 'randinit' -- is this a coding error on my part?

Hi! I have a feeling you meant to type random.randint instead of random.randinit. Notice the extra "i" in yours. I can't find any mention of a random.randinit in the Python documentation here

Try making that change and see if you can get rid of that error. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

That's 100% the problem, haha. Thanks.
