Python Basic Object-Oriented Python Creating a Memory Game Game Class Part 1

Nothing showing up in my console...

class Game:
    def __init__(self):
        self.size = 4
        self.card_options = ['add', 'boo', 'cat', 'dev',
                             'egg', 'far', 'gum', 'hut']
        self.columns =['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
        self.cards = []
        self.locations = []
        for column in self.columns:
            for num in range(1, self.size + 1):
                print(f'{column}{num}')
        if __name__ == '__main__':
            Game()

At this point in the video, the instructor ran the file and got all the locations available in the game. I'm not getting that result and can't figure out why...no errors just...nothing!

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Hey diginoma, after adding formatting to your post, the issue becomes clearer.

The if __name__ == “__main__”: is indented too far. The “if” should align with the “class”

As the code is now, the if is inside the class definition. When run from the command line, the class is defined but nothing else is executed.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Thanks!!

Finally figured out how to post my code for help! Thanks again Chris!!!!

how did you get it to be formatted properly btw?

I wrapped the code with ```python and ```

There needs to be a blank line before and after the whole block.

More details in the Markdown Cheatsheet link show below new and edited posts

python and

class Game: def init(self): self.size = 4 self.card_options = ['add', 'boo', 'cat', 'dev', 'egg', 'far', 'gum', 'hut'] self.columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'] self.cards = [] self.locations = [] for column in self.columns: for num in range(1, self.size + 1): self.locations.append(f'{column}{num}')

def set_cards(self):
    used_locations = []
    for word in self.card_options:
        for i in range(2):
            available_locations = set(self.locations) - set(used_locations)
            random_location = random.choice(list(available_locations))
            used_locations.append(random_location)
            card = Card(word, random_location)
            self.cards.append(card)

def create_row(self, num):
    row = []
    for column in self.columns:
        for card in self.cards:
            if card.location == f'{column}{num}':
                if card.matched:
                    row.append(str(card))
                else:
                    row.append('   ')
    return row

def create_grid(self):
    header = ' |  ' + '  |  '.join(self.columns) + '  |'
    print(header)
    for row in range(1, self.size + 1):
        print_row = f'{row}| '
        get_row = self.create_row(row)
        print_row += ' | '.join(get_row)
        print(print_row)

def check_match(self, loc1, loc2):
    cards = []
    for card in self.cards:
        if card.location == loc1 or card.location == loc2:
            cards.append(card)
    if cards[0] == cards[1]:
        cards[0].matched = True
        cards[1].matched = True
        return True
    else:
        for car in cards:
            print(f'{card.location}: {card}')
        return False

def check_win(self):
    for card in self.cards:
        if card.matched == False:
            return False
        else:
            return True

def check_location(self,time):
    while True:
        guess = input(f"What's the location of your {time} card? ")
        if guess.upper() in self.locations:
            return guess.upper()
        else:
            print("That's not a valid location")

if name == 'main': game = Game() game.set_cards() game.create_grid() if name == 'main': game = Game() game.set_cards()

python and

just for practice

um....with or without the quote marks?

It needs to be:

Blank before start of code block

```python

your code in the middle

```

Blank line following close of code block

to yield

your code in the middle

You can also use the ellipsis ... below your post I edited, and select “edit post” to see the raw formatting changes.
