My first battle simulator

Question

This is my code I wrote completely on my own. Its one of my first real programs that I have written using booleans, functions, and loops if anyone could give me some feedback about how its structured and how it runs when executed. Any feedback or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

First of all, there is a syntax error:

if com_HP > 50:  # <-- if statement without body leads to indentation error
# some comment
if user_move == 1 and user_ammo > 0:
    # some more code

Moreover there are a few style issues with your code:

Comments

Always indent your comments on the same level as the code you are referring to, otherwise it is very confusing.

# Declaration for replay_game function
def replay_game():
# Prompts user to play again and saves value in variable game_loop    
    game_loop = input("Would you like to play again? (Y/N)")
# If game_loop variable is equal to Y then replay     
    if game_loop == "Y" or "y":
        game_main()

Indent your comments like this:

# Declaration for replay_game function
def replay_game():
    # Prompts user to play again and saves value in variable game_loop    
    game_loop = input("Would you like to play again? (Y/N)")
    # If game_loop variable is equal to Y then replay     
    if game_loop == "Y" or "y":
        game_main()

Paragraphs

Please use paragraphs between functions, also when there is a comment in between. The official python style guide states:

Surround top-level function and class definitions with two blank lines.

Avoid top level code

Top level code is executed every time this module is loaded, which is probably not what you want when importing this module from another script. That's why you should surround your top level code with:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Welcome user and prompt for their name
    print("Welcome to the duel!")
    user_name = input("What is your name? ")
    # Begin game function
    game_main()

User input

You don't handle the case of invalid user input, e.g. a user enters a name instead of a number. This can be handled with an extra function to get proper user input.

def get_user_move():
    try:        
        user_move = int(input("..."))
    except ValueError:
        print("Invalid Input: Not a number!")        
    # validate input
    if user_move < 0 or user_move > 5:
        print("Invalid Input: Must be 1-5")
        # ask the player again
        return get_user_move()
    else:
        return user_move

Structure

Structure your game as a class e.g.

class Game:
    def __init__(self, username):
        self.username = username
        self.user_potion = 0
        self.com_potion = 0
        # etc.

    def start(self):
        # prompt user to choose a move
        user_move = get_user_move()
        # Uses random to generate a random integer between 1 and 5
        com_move = random.randint(1,5)
        if user_move == 1:
            user_attack(com_move)
        if user_move == 2:
            user_block(com_move)
        # etc.

    def user_attack(com_move):
        # handle user attack

    # etc.    

In your main part you can now instantiate your game as an object and run the start method, e.g.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Welcome user and prompt for their name
    print("Welcome to the duel!")
    user_name = input("What is your name? ")
    game = Game(user_name)
    game.start()

Welcome to Code Review. Great first question!

Things to maintain

You have some good habits already; keep them up:

• Commenting code
• Reasonable variable and function names

There are some other things to improve:

Whitespace

Programmers (sometimes snobbishly) think of code as poetry that should be broken up into stanzas, basically paragraphs of related statements. This helps break up the code for it to be more legible for humans without having any effect on Python's interpretation of the code. For example, the first few lines of your program could be

# Imports random function for computer choice
import random


win_cnt = 0
losses_cnt = 0


def game_main():
    """
    Game function
    """

    # Prompts user about game   
    print(user_name + " will face off against the computer!\nIn this duel you and the computer will face off  by taking turns battling the first to fall loses! ")
    print("Remember to use nearby cover and to reload BEFORE you attack!")

    # Variables needed for tracking computer and users health, ammo, and damage.
    user_potion = 0
    com_potion = 0
    user_ammo = 0
    com_ammo = 0
    user_heal = 10
    com_heal = 10
    user_atk = 10
    com_atk = 10
    user_HP = 30
    com_HP = 30

    # Battle loop that loops as long as both players health is above 0   
    # ...

Note the use of triple-quotes for a standard function docstring, and standard indentation of comments at the same level as the corresponding code.

Have a read through PEP8, and/or use pretty much any modern Python IDE that has auto-linting (PyCharm is my usual go-to); you will find many other suggestions there about whitespace in your code.

String interpolation

print(user_name + " will face off against the computer!\nIn this duel you and the computer will face off  by taking turns battling the first to fall loses! ")

can be more easily coded as

print(
    f'{user_name} will face off against the computer!\n'
    'In this duel you and the computer will face off '
    'by taking turns battling the first to fall loses! '
    'Remember to use nearby cover and to reload BEFORE '
    'you attack!'
)

The f does the interpolation to allow for the {} field insertion, and the consecutive strings use implicit string literal concatenation to keep the line length down.

Parentheses

This is not C/Java/C#/etc., so this:

while (user_HP > 0 and com_HP > 0):

does not need parentheses.

Input validation

    user_move = int(input("What would you like to do? 1) Attack 2) Block 3) Reload 4) Heal? 5) Grab Bandage(potion)"))
    if user_move > 5: #or str:
        print("INVALID INPUT! MUST BE 1-5")

What if someone inputs 0? Or "banana"? You will want to change this to (a) catch a ValueError, and also if not (1 <= input <= 5).

That aside, you should also consider making an enum.Enum to represent these choices, for many reasons - symbolic references to the numbers will make your code more legible; validation will be easier; etc.

Random

This:

random.randint(0,100) > 50

technically does not need to have a range of 100. You could use an upper limit of 2, or even

random.choice((True, False))

Functions

game_main is very long. Consider pulling out chunks of it into subroutines - perhaps one for every different possible type of user move.

No-op return

This:

else:
    return

does not do anything and can be removed.

Procedure

I encourage you to work on your code based on the feedback you get, ensure that your code is still working, and then post another question with your new, proposed code once you are satisfied that you have received enough responses on this question. Given that you are a beginner, there are many things that you can do to this code to improve it, and it wouldn't be very feasible to tackle it all at once.
