17,062 PointsWhats wrong with my code when i try to show the monster?
hi, I'm trying to show the monster when the player step on it:
def draw_map(player):
print(" _" * 5)
tile = "|{}"
for cell in CELLS:
x, y = cell
if x < 4:
line_end = ""
if cell == player:
output = tile.format("X") # represent the player, The x is the player
else:
output = tile.format("_")
if cell == monster:
output = tile.format("M")
else:
output = tile.format("_")
else:
line_end = "\n"
if cell == player:
output = tile.format("X|") #this represent the right wall(>)
else:
output = tile.format("_|")
if cell == monster:
output = tile.format("M|")
else:
output = tile.format("_|")
print(output, end = line_end)
i keep getting this error: TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
i triple checked the code and the indentation is ok
any help?

17,062 PointsKris nikolaisen, the code suppose to show when the player step on the monster
KRIS NIKOLAISEN
54,972 PointsCode modified was to in draw_map
1) Add monster parameter
2) Check if cell had both the monster and the player. If so then display M.
def draw_map(player, monster):
print(" _" * 5)
tile = "|{}"
for cell in CELLS:
x, y = cell
if x < 4:
line_end = ""
if cell == monster and cell == player:
output = tile.format("M")
elif cell == player:
output = tile.format("X") # represent the player, The x is the player
else:
output = tile.format("_")
else:
line_end = "\n"
if cell == monster and cell == player:
output = tile.format("M|")
elif cell == player:
output = tile.format("X|") #this represent the right wall(>)
else:
output = tile.format("_|")
print(output, end = line_end)
In game_loop
1) Call draw_map with new monster parameter
2) If player==monster, clear screen and redraw map before displaying 'Better luck next time!' message
def game_loop():
monster, door, player = get_locations()
playing = True
while playing:
clear_screen()
draw_map(player, monster)
valid_moves = get_moves(player)
print("You're currently in room {}".format(player))
print("You can move {}".format(", ".join(valid_moves)))
print("Enter QUIT to quit")
move = input("> ")
move = move.upper()
if move == 'QUIT':
print("\n ** See you next time! **\n")
break
if move in valid_moves:
player = move_player(player, move)
if player == monster:
clear_screen()
draw_map(player, monster)
print("\n ** Oh no! The monster got you! Better luck next time! **\n")
playing = False
