Creating a player character.

★☆☆

Role playing games require players to adopt a virtual character in the game. Characters often have traits recorded as numerical values for strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom and charisma. This program creates a simple character and saves it to a file.

Make

Write a program that asks the user to enter the name of a character, together with their health, attack and defend as numbers. The program should write the data to a file.

Success Criteria

Remember to add a comment before a subprogram, selection or iteration statement to explain its purpose.

Complete the subprogram called make_character that:

1. Asks the user to input the name of the character.
2. Asks the user to input stats for: health, attack and defend values.
3. Stats must be validated as numbers to be accepted.
4. Returns a list with the name and stats.

Complete the subprogram called save_character that:

1. Takes a list of attributes as a parameter.
2. Opens a file for writing data. The name of the file is the name of the character + “.txt”
3. Writes “[Name]” to the file followed by the character name on a new line, followed by a blank line.
4. Writes “[Attributes]” to the file followed by each attribute on a new line.
5. Closes the file.

Complete the main program so that:

1. The make_character and save_character subprograms are called.
2. Outputs “Character saved.”

Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:

Enter the name of the character: Elf
Enter health: 10
Enter attack: 13
Enter defend: 8
Character saved.

# Input the attributes for the character
def make_character():
---
    character_name = input("Enter the name of the character: ")
    health = ""
    attack = ""
    defend = ""
---
    # Ensure stats are numbers
    while not health.isdigit():
---
        health = input("Enter health: ")
---
    while not attack.isdigit():
---
        attack = input("Enter attack: ")
---
    while not defend.isdigit():
---
        defend = input("Enter defend: ")
---
    
    # Build the return list
    attributes = [character_name, health, attack, defend]
---
    return attributes

# Save the character to a file
def save_character(attributes):
---
    file_name = attributes[0] + ".txt"
---
    file = open(file_name, "w")
---
    
    # Name section
    file.write("[Name]\n")
---
    character_name = attributes[0] + "\n"
---
    file.write(character_name)
---
    file.write("\n")
---
    
    # Stats section
    file.write("[Attributes]\n")
---
    health = "health=" + attributes[1] + "\n"
---
    file.write(health)
---
    attack = "attack=" + attributes[2] + "\n"
---
    file.write(attack)
---
    defend = "defend=" + attributes[3] + "\n"
---
    file.write(defend)
---
    file.close()
