A controlled ageing system in Python EDIT: Wrong place, sorry [closed]
If someone can delete this I put it on the wrong website! I didn't realise I was logged into stack exchange and not stack overflow... sorry guys.
I'm an absolute beginner to python, this is my first go at coding, so forgive me if i'm being an idiot.
I decided to have a go at making my own life simulator similar to BitLife, available on the app store. I ran into a problem with the ageing system, the goal is that each time the user presses 'a' it adds a year to their Age.
I'm not sure if it's actually simple and i'm missing something obvious, but here's what I have, it makes sense in my head:
def waiting():
def runAge():
NewAge = Age + 1
print( str(NewAge) + ' years old.')
NewAge = Age
waiting()
yearup = input()
if yearup == 'a':
runAge()
waiting()
My thinking is that there is a waiting state where nothing should happen, when the program waits for the 'a' control, where it begins the ageing process, in which it adds 1 to the Age value. (I set this to be 0 earlier.) Then that is called NewAge which is then renamed Age, so that it can be done again.
The issue is when I test it, it only prints '1' each time I press a. It makes sense in my head, have I missed something? Am I over complicating? Thanks.
