The following is a link to a python assignment:

CMPT 165 Assignment 4

Here is my attempt at the solution. I have been having difficulties as it is not working:

import cgi
form=cgi.FieldStorage()
import cgi
form=cgi.FieldStorage()

import random

name=form.getvalue("name")
value=(form.getvalue ("value"))
die1=random.randint(1,6)
die2=random.randint(1,6)
die3=random.randint(1,6)
die4=random.randint(1,6)
die5=random.randint(1,6)
total=int(die1+die2+die3+die4+die5)


print """Content-type:text/html

<!DOCTYPE html Public "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Dice Game</title>
</head>
<body>
"""


print "<p>Thanks for playing, "".</p>"
print "<p>You bet the total would be at least "+ "str(value)" +" .</p>"
print '"<p>The total rolled was " + str(total) +".</p>"'
if die1==1:
    print "<p><img src='dice-1.png" + "str(die1)" + "die.png' alt='" + "str(die1)" + "' /></p>"
elif diel == 2:
    print "<p><img src='dice-2.png"+"str(die2)" + "' /></p>"
elif diel == 3:
    print "<p><img src='dice-3.png"+"str(die4)" + "' /></p>"
elif diel == 4:
    print "<p><img src='dice-4.png"+"str(die4)" + "' /></p>"
elif diel == 5:
    print "<p><img src='dice-5.png"+"str(die5)" + "' /></p>"
elif diel == 6:
    print "<p><img src='dice-6.png"+"str(die6)" + "' /></p>"
total == value
print "<p> You Won! </p>"
value < total
print "<p> You Won! </p>"
else:
    print "<p> Sorry... You Lost.</p>
    print "</body></html>

The last portion of your code is a bit unclear, did you mean to wrap IF statements around total == value and value < total?

total == value
print "<p> You Won! </p>"
value < total
print "<p> You Won! </p>"
else:
    print "<p> Sorry... You Lost.</p>
    print "</body></html>

Hi,

You can check my code that implements basic HttpServer and logic of the game:


import cgi

import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

import random

from BaseHTTPServer import HTTPServer

from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler



class MyHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

    def do_GET(self):

        self.send_response(200)

        self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')

        self.end_headers()


        html = """

        <html>

        <body>

        <form method="post">

        <p>

          Name: <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />

        </p>

        <p>

          Value: <input type="text" name="value" id="value" />

        </p>

        <p>

          <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

        </p>

        </form>

        </body>

        </html>

        """


        self.wfile.write(html)


    def do_POST(self):

        ctype, pdict = cgi.parse_header(self.headers.getheader('content-type'))

        if ctype == 'multipart/form-data':

            postvars = cgi.parse_multipart(self.rfile, pdict)

        elif ctype == 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded':

            length = int(self.headers.getheader('content-length'))

            postvars = cgi.parse_qs(self.rfile.read(length), keep_blank_values=1)

        else:

            postvars = {}


        self.send_response(200)

        self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')

        self.end_headers()


        name = postvars['name'].pop()

        value = postvars['value'].pop()


        html = """

        <html>

        %s

        </html>

        """


        if name and value:

            value = int(value)


            dices_html = []

            sum = 0

            for i in range(5):

                dice = random.randint(1, 6)

                sum += dice

                dices_html.append('%d' % dice)

            dices_html = '<p>Dices: %s</p>' % ' '.join(dices_html)


            result = '<p>Hello, %s. You bet the total would be at least %s. The total rolled was %s. ' % (name, value, sum)

            if value <= sum:

                result += 'You won!</p>'

            else:

                result += 'You lost!</p>'


            self.wfile.write(html % dices_html + result)

        else:

            self.wfile.write(html % '<p>Please enter name and value.</p>')



def main():

    try:

        server = HTTPServer(('', 80), MyHandler)

        print 'started httpserver...'

        server.serve_forever()

    except KeyboardInterrupt:

        print '^C received, shutting down server'

        server.socket.close()



if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

Can you use any framework to create the game or it should be implemented using stdlib?

Sorry mate, all those q's went straight over my head.

Okay, here's a link to my attempt at the game:

Dice Game

Here is the actual game. Compare:

Dice Game

Here is the revised python code which made the aforementioned:

import cgi

form = cgi.FieldStorage()

import cgi

form = cgi.FieldStorage()


import random


name = form.getvalue("name")

value= form.getvalue ("value")

die_1 = random.randint (1, 6)

die_2 = random.randint (1, 6)

die_3 = random.randint (1, 6)

die_4 = random.randint (1, 6)

die_5 = random.randint (1, 6)

die_6 = random.randint (1, 6)

total = int(die_1+die_2+die_3+die_4+die_5+die_6)


# print HTTP/HTML headers

print """Content-type: text/html


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>

<title>Dice Game</title>

</head>

<body>

"""


#print HTML body using form data

print "<p>Thanks for playing, " + str(name) + ". </p>"

print "<p>You bet the total would be at least " + str(value) +" . </p>"

print "<p>The total rolled was " + str(total) + ". </p>"

if die_1 == 1:

    print "<p><img src='die_1.png"  + str(die_1) + "die_1.png' alt='" + str(die_1) + "' /></p>"

elif die_1 == 2:

    print "<p><img src='die_2.png" + str(die_2) + "die_2.png' alt='" + str(die_2) + "' /></p>"

elif die_1 == 3:

    print "<p><img src='die_3.png" + str(die_3) + "die_3.png' alt='" + str(die_3) + "' /></p>"

elif die_1 == 4:

    print "<p><img src='die_4.png" + str(die_4) + "die_4.png' alt='" + str(die_4) + "' /></p>"

elif die_1 == 5:

    print "<p><img src='die_5.png" + str(die_5) + "die_5.png' alt='" + str(die_5) + "' /></p>"

elif die_1 == 6:

    print "<p><img src='die_6.png" + str(die_6) + "die_6.png' alt='" + str(die_6) + "' /></p>"

if total == value:

    print "<p> You Won! </p>"

if value < total:

    print "<p> You Won! </p>"

if value > total:

    print "<p> Sorry....You Lost.</p>"

    print "</body></html>"

Again, here is the xHTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>Dice Game</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="a4.css" />

</head>

<body>

<h1>Dice Game</h1>

<form action="sample.py">

<div class="formin">Enter your name:

<input type="text" size="6" maxlength="30" name= "name" />

</div>

<div class="formin"> You bet the total will be at least:

<input type= "text" size="6" maxlength="3" name="value" />

</div>

<div class="formin">

<input type= "submit" value="Go!" />

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Hopefully, someone can explain why the images are not appearing and my game always results in me losing...?

It looks like there is built-in server... How do you run this script on your local machine?

First of all images appear on both links you provided. But you roll the dices 6 times instead of 5. I don't understand why your code works, because you always comparing die_1, but I hope this code should work (rewrite it using loop):


print "<p><img src="die_%s.png" /></p>" % die_1

print "<p><img src="die_%s.png" /></p>" % die_2

print "<p><img src="die_%s.png" /></p>" % die_3

print "<p><img src="die_%s.png" /></p>" % die_4

print "<p><img src="die_%s.png" /></p>" % die_5

You have to convert value to int. Now you compare str with int.


value = form.getfirst('value')

if value:

    value = int(value)
