Pokemon-style text battle game

Question

I took a crack at making a Pokemon-style text battle game in Python 3 to practice object-oriented programming a bit, inspired this project on Reddit, but I did not follow every instruction.

I do realize this kind of code has been reviewed a lot here, so I'll ask questions I think are specific to my code:

• Is there a better way to change turns?
• What about styling?
• Are my classes okay?

Answer 1

Your use of classes is wrong. You overwrite the class properties instead of the instance properties. This seems to be no problem now, since you always set all properties, but if you ever have a property which is only sometimes set, an instance will get the value from the last instance where that property was set (instead of being undefined).

This is dangerous as can be seen in this example:

class A:
    def __init__(self, name=None):
        if name is not None:
            A.name = name

a1 = A("foo")
a2 = A()
print a2.name
# foo

a2.name is now "foo", whereas it should not be defined at all and raise an AttributeError.

You should set the instance property by using the instance, self:

class A:
    def __init__(self, name=None):
        if name is not None:
            self.name = name

a1 = A("foo")
a2 = A()
print a2.name
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
#         AttributeError: 'A' object has no attribute 'name'

So basically replace all of your Monsters.foo with self.foo and similar for Player.foo and Skills.foo.

Lastly, Python has an official style-guide, PEP8, which you should adhere to. In addition to what TemporalWolf noted in his answer, this means using lower_case_with_underscores as variable and function names and PascalCase only for class names (and not for class instances, these are just normal variables).

Answer 2

The class Monstersonly stores data, so a namedtuple would be a better alternative:

from collections import namedtuple
Monster = namedtuple("Monster", "name health types defense offense quickness")

monster = Monster("a", 100, "b", 100, 100, 100)

The dodge-method of your Skill class can be simplified a lot:

def dodge(self, quickness):
  if quickness <= 10:
    return random.choice([1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2]) == 1
  if quickness > 10 and quickness <= 20:
    return random.choice([1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2]) == 1
  ...

---

It seems that human_turn is always equal to not computer_turn. You can drop computer_turn and alter your loop conditions to:

while not human_turn:
  ...
while human_turn:
  ...

As long as a function only return booleans you don't need to compare its return value to True:

if Skills.dodge(Monster, Monster.quickness):

does the same as your:

if Skills.dodge(Monster,Monster.quickness)==True:

---

The two conditions if potion=='suicide_pill': and if potion=='good_potion': do actually the same. You can combine them to:

names.eat(potion)
print ("{} picked {}! {} now has {} health left.".format(names.name,  potion, names.name, names.health))
human_skill = None
computer_turn = True
human_turn = False
break

Answer 3

while typess!='ice' and typess!='fire' and typess!='grass':

can be simplified to

while typess not in Type_Monster:

---

PEP-8 styling should be followed... your code is missing a lot of spaces (I fixed this example):

def strong_attack(self, offense):
random_number_list = [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2]
maximum = offense * 0.50 
if random.choice(random_number_list) == 1:
    return random.uniform(1, maximum)

---

Also, these sections

def strong_attack(self,offense):
    random_number_list=[1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2]
    maximum=offense*0.50 
    if random.choice(random_number_list)==1:
      return random.uniform(1,maximum)
    else:
      return 0

seem to be giving a % chance to succeed. Simplified:

def strong_attack(self, offense):
    return random.uniform(1, offense * 0.50) if random.random() < 0.4 else 0

The dodge skill can be simplified to:

def dodge(self,quickness):
    return random.random() < ((int(min(quickness, 40)) - 1) / 10 * 0.2 + 0.2)

Both of these are just using random.random() to get a random value between 0 & 1, then calculating the percentage they want to succeed and comparing the two values. min(quickness, 40) prevents quickness above 40 from giving 100% dodge.
