Highscore

**MaxLindquist** · Nov 27 '06, 01:52 PM

Thank you.... now it works prefectly. I inserted some extra stuff:

Score, Name, Times Played, Total time played.

I have now only one last question:

When i print this out, how do I make this look good? Now it prints out this:

(Total Score, Name, Times Played, Median Value, Total time played (sec))
(300, 'John')
(200, 'Jane')
(106, 'Bajs', 1, 106, 9)
(102, 'Hej', 1, 102, 9)
(83, 'test', 2, 41, 48)
(68.70051319954 6208, 'Testny', 1, 68, 14.555932021867 418)
(66, 'Runk', 1, 66, 15)
(58, 'test', 1, 58, 16)
(53, 'Test4', 1, 53, 18)

Code:

But i would like it to print out this way:

(Total Score, Name,    Times Played, Median Value, Total time played (sec))
(300             'John'      2                    142                 114)
(200,            'Jane'      1                    200                 17)
(106,            'Bajs',     1,                   106,                 9)
(102,            'Hej',       1,                   102,                 9)
(83,              'test',      2,                   41,                  48)
(68.              'Testny',  1,                   68,                  14)
(66,              'Runk',    1,                   66,                  15)
(58,              'test',      1,                   58,                  16)
(53,              'Test4',    1,                   53,                  18)

(I did'nt know how to wright it this way here, so i used the CODE-thing. I hope you understand what i mean)

This is the code i have:

Code:

def highscore(totalscore, name, timesplayed, median, totaltime):

    scores = open("scores", "r")
    som blir en lista
    hiscores = pickle.load(scores)
    scores.close()
    

    hiscores.append((totalscore, name, timesplayed, median, totaltime))

    hiscores.sort    

    scores=open("scores", "w")
    pickle.dump(hiscores[-10:], scores)
    scores.close()


def highscore2():
    scores = open("scores", "r")
    oldscores = pickle.load(scores)
    scores.close()

    print "(Total Score, Name,    Times Played, Median Value, Total time played (sec))"

    for i in range(9, 0, -1):
        print oldscores[i]

Thanks

Thanks

How 'bout this:

Code:

column_width = 18

def columnize(word, width):
    nSpaces = width - len(word)
    if nSpaces < 0:
        nSpaces = 0
    return word + (" " * nSpaces)

def highscore2():
    scores = open("scores", "r")
    oldscores = pickle.load(scores)
    scores.close()

    header = ('Total Score', 'Name', 'Times Played', 'Median Value', 'Total time played (sec)')

    for title in header:
        print columnize(title, column_width),
    print
    for i in range(9, 0, -1):
        for col_value in oldscores[i]:
            print columnize(col_value, column_width),
        print

It exactly what i had in mind... this doesn't work on my cpu though. Maybe col_value has to be defined or something?

This is the Errormessage:

But can i add new players to the highscore now.
Beacause now the highscore is part of the code:

Code:

    oldscores = [(300, 'John', 1, 300, 12), (200, 'Jane', 200, 3, 4), (106, 'Bajs', 1, 106, 9), (102, 'Hej', 1, 102, 9), (83, 'test', 2, 41, 48), \

                  (53, 'Test4', 1, 53, 18)]

i Have one last question:

What does this part do?

Code:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        highscore2()
    finally:
        del highscore2
        del columnize

what is "del"?

It means delete from memory. I never worry about this. Python takes care of cleaning up memory.

It's a habit I have developed which is not necessary. This works fine:

Code:

if __name__ == '__main__':
       highscore2()

The code I posted could be considered a module. To test the module, you need some means of calling the function 'highscore2'.

Quote Python Essential Reference - "Each module defines a variable '__name__' that contains the module name. Programs specified on the command line or entered interactively run inside the '__main__' module."

In our case, the function 'highscore' is only executed if run as a script, but not if imported as a module.

I call this "standard module test code".
