25. Simple modification

Instruction

Great! We've made a modification of the code, so now you can decide how robot A moves! See how simple it is. We've only:

  • added a choose_move() function which lets you choose a move for the robot: 
    def choose_move():
  move = -1
  while move not in {0, 1, 2}:
    try: move = int(input('Choose an action for robot A (0 - turn right, 1 - shoot, 2 - move forward): '))
    except: move = -1 
  return move
  • modified the act_robot() function: 
    def act_robot(board, robot, lives_left):
  if robot['name'] == 'A':
    action = choose_move()
  else:
    action = random.randint(0, 2)
  if action == 0:
    turn_right(robot)
  elif action == 1:
    laser_shoot(board, robot, lives_left)
  elif action == 2:
    move_forward(board, robot)

Exercise

Play the game as many times as you like. This time you should type 0, 1 or 2 each time when robot A chooses a move. Try to win :) When you're done, click I'm done. Next exercise
