ChatGPT Game With Son
Draft - Hello, First post of 2023 and its a good one. I am creating a Python based figthing game together with/for my son. With all the discussion of ChatGPT I decided to give it a go and see what it can do. 
So the Python that came out looks pretty good to me (I’m no Python expert but I can read and work with it), I ran this in my cmdline and after fixing some spacing issues it worked great. I am honestly impressed. This was my second pass at requesting this game format so I had already learned that I needed to be very specific to get out what I wanted. Initially I got a game with just one attack and no input. It ran but was not fun as a game. It had the working logic which I could have edited manually, but instead I asked more a specific question and got a more specific answer.
class Player:
def __init__(self, name, health, attack1, attack2, attack3):
self.name = name
self.health = health
self.Attack = {"1": attack1, "2": attack2, "3": attack3}
def choose_attack(self):
choice = input(f"{self.name}, choose your attack (1, 2, or 3): ")
return self.Attack[choice]
def reduce_health(self, amount):
self.health -= amount
class Attack:
def __init__(self, name, damage):
self.name = name
self.damage = damage
def __str__(self):
return self.name
player1 = Player("Patrick", 100, Attack("Punch", 20), Attack("Kick", 30), Attack("Uppercut", 40))
player2 = Player("Conor", 100, Attack("Slash", 25), Attack("Stab", 35), Attack("Smash", 45))
players = [player1, player2]
while True:
for player in players:
print(f"{player.name}'s health: {player.health}")
attack = player.choose_attack()
other_player = players[1] if player == players[0] else players[0]
print(f"{player.name} uses {attack}!")
other_player.reduce_health(attack.damage)
if other_player.health <= 0:
print(f"{other_player.name} has been defeated!")
exit()
Plays out as
>>> while True:
... for player in players:
... print(f"{player.name}'s health: {player.health}")
... attack = player.choose_attack()
... other_player = players[1] if player == players[0] else players[0]
... print(f"{player.name} uses {attack}!")
... other_player.reduce_health(attack.damage)
