SyntaxError: invalid syntax when I try to print(self.player)

My code looks correct to me, however I am getting a SyntaxError on line 79 when I try to print(self.player). I also noticed that self.setup() should be running first, but I do not see an input for my name or weapon in the console.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Brian

Just two small syntax errors, I've marked what their issues were with comments:

  def __init__(self):
    self.setup()

    while self.player.hit_points and (self.monster or self.monsters):
      # Missing the closing )
      print('\n' + '=' * 20)
      print(self.player)
      self.monster_turn()
      print('-'*20)
      self.player_turn()
      self.cleanup()
      # Too far indented
      print('\n'+'='*20)

    if self.player.hit_points:
      print("You win!")
    elif self.monsters or self.monsters:
      print("You lose!")
    sys.exit()

Dan,

Thanks a lot for reviewing my code! I can't believe I didn't notice these mistakes. Everything works as it should now.
