'Snake and Ladder game stuck after 3 plays
I have been trying to implement the logic , when player rolled dice 3 times continues 6 then reset his score to initial old score before he rolled the dice to 6.
For example :
Player 1 -> Dice : 6 -> Score -> 6 -> First time 6 occurred on Dice
Player 1 -> Dice : 6 -> Score -> 12 -> Second time 6 occurred on Dice
Player 1 -> Dice : 6 -> Score -> 0 -> Third time 6 occurred on Dice [ reset to old score ]
What I tried to implement
old_score.append(ply1)
if dice_rolled_ply_1 == 6:
flag = 0
sum_of_six = sum_of_six + dice_rolled_ply_1
if sum_of_six == 18:
player_1_score = old_score[0]
print(
{
"PLAYER 1 ": lst_of_palyers[i],
"DICE ": dice_rolled_ply_1,
"SCORE ": player_1_score,
"RESET TO OLD SCORE ": "PLAYER 1",
}
)
old_score.clear()
flag = 1

Currently may game is not moving further after 3 steps
{'PLAYER 1 ': 'Vamsh', 'DICE ': 6, 'SCORE ': 0, 'RESET TO OLD SCORE ': 'PLAYER 1'}
{'PLAYER 2 ': 'Vikas', 'DICE ': 4, 'SCORE ': 56, 'YOU GOT A LADDER , PLAY AGAIN ': 'PLAYER 2'}
{'PLAYER 2 ': 'Vikas', 'DICE ': 4, 'SCORE ': 60}
Any fix for it is much appreciated !!!
Solution 1:[1]
In what you tried to implement, when player 1 rolls a 6 three times, you reset his score and change players, but you do not reset the sum_of_six variable.
Furthermore, in your sample code, player 1 always rolls a six.
As a result, when it is player 1's turn again, sum_of_six is not 18 (it's 24), so you do not print any output and it is player 1's turn over and over again. Since "dice_rolled" is always 6 and "sum_of_six" is never 18, you do not print anything and the program runs in an infinite loop.
At the very least, you need to reset sum_of_six in the case it is 18. Also, if any player rolls a 6, I think they should move along the board and update their score in the same way as if they rolls between 1 and 5, should they not ?
