I have ran in to an issue...

Question

So I started a cluedo game on python and I have a problem the generators that generate the murderer and victim have a chance of being the same person so what do I do?

Answer 1

1. Sample the victim.
2. Exclude the victim from the set of characters.
3. Sample murderer.

Answer 2

1.shuffle the list.
2. use the first item as the victim, the next or the last item as the murderer.

from random import shuffle

characters = ['Mrs. White', 'Mr. Green', 'Mrs. Peacock', 'Professor Plum', 'Miss Scarlet', 'Colonel Mustard', 'Dr. Black']

shuffle(characters)

print(characters)

victim, murderer, *_ = characters

#or
#victim, *_, murderer = characters

print(f'{victim = }\n{murderer = }')

Answer 3

The module is called "random", not "shuffle". You need to import the function "shuffle" from the module "random".

Answer 4

It says there's no module named shuffle

Answer 5

Ooh ok thanks
