Renpy claim infinite loop while I dispute it. Need help [Solved]

[Sehaf]

Wrote this piece today. To check a list against another.
While I though it to be simple enough. Renpy Cracks down on me and say there is possible infinete loop and does not let me continue.
Anyone can see what I'm missing or can ammend to make the text editor stop jammering at me.

Code: Select all

    
    $ collorBreak = False
    $ numb_remember = col_se1 + 1
    while numb_remember < 7 or collorBreak == False:
        if collorBox[numb_remember][row_se1] == collorBox[col_se2][row_se2]:
            $ numb_remember += 1
            $ colloCount += 1
        else:
            $ collorBreak = True

EDIT: Found the issue. the program was right of course.

Looking at your code, it seems as if all you want is to know how many things are the same in both lists? (the colloCount variable). There are much easier ways to do that.

For example:

Code: Select all

default list1 = [1,7,7,8,5]
default list2 = [5,4,2,7,9]

# The game starts here.
label start():

    "Doing a quick list intersection test."
    "List 1: [list1]"
    "List 2: [list2]"
    $listI = set(list1).intersection(list2)
    "List Intersection: [listI]"
    $listIcount = len(listI)
    "Number of items that are the same: [listIcount]"
    "That's it."

You can find some documentation on Lists here: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_lists.htm

I'll also note that the infinite loop check is actually just a timer - it's more just a way of breaking out of a game that's been unresponsive for 10 seconds or so. So if you're just doing a huge amount of work, you can get the warning, even if it's not technically an infinite loop.

Thanks for fast reply.

Its not just comparing lists. It checks a selected color from one list agains a position from the other list (which is a grid of 7 nested lists) how many of the same color is in the selected spot. So the sulotion does work at all im afraid.

@pytom. Could be it. Though it should only check seven strings at most from a list. Unshure how that could take longer then 10 seconds. Also the program gives me the error message almost directly.
