Problem with "if" statements [Solved-ish]

#1 Post by Sehaf »

Hi. I tried to make a Match-3 kind of enginge as I could not see one already beeing avaleble in when serching. Tried doing this myself. But Only get syntax error and cannot understand what I do wrong or what else I sohuld do to get the same restult. This was to create the seed for the grid.

Code: Select all

    while box_numb_count < 49:
        
        if box_[col_Count][row_Count] == "none":
            
            if row[row_Count]_Col_repeat != "pink2" or col_Col_repeat != "pink2":
                python:
                    collor_match_list.append("pink")
            elif row[row_Count]_Col_repeat == "pink2":
                if row_Count == 1:
                    $ row1_Col_repeat = "none"
                elif row_Count == 2:
                    $ row2_Col_repeat = "none"
                elif row_Count == 3:
                    $ row3_Col_repeat = "none"
                elif row_Count == 4:
                    $ row4_Col_repeat = "none"
                elif row_Count == 5:
                    $ row5_Col_repeat = "none"
                elif row_Count == 6:
                    $ row6_Col_repeat = "none"

    return
I think this is your problem;

row[row_Count]_Col_repeat

it looks like you expect that to be read by the computer as

row1_Col_repeat
row2_Col_repeat
row3_Col_repeat
row4_Col_repeat
etc

You can do that in a string, but not in variable-name.

You could use a list instead
row_Col_repeat=[]

Re: Problem with "if" statements

So there is no equalent to do the same in a variable-name as with a string? Is it just not doable? Or is it rather making things to advanced in code?

Though I could use a list, would that not be the same thing then if I want to go through multiple lists the same way? As I cannot check for different variable-name.

Thanks. Though after looking through it it felt quite hard to modify to my needs. Not really beginner friendly as they say.
