python 2.7 - Multiple Errors in Hangman program -

-

i've been teaching self program in python lately , decided make game. have been successful majority of except few things

  1. when incorrect letter inputted, letter appended wrong letter array many spots in gamespace array userletter equal.example: if type in "the" wordtarget, t, h , e printed 2 times wrong letter array. no matter letter gets out wrong letter array

code:

wordtarget = raw_input("enter word here: ").lower () gamespace = ["_"] * len(wordtarget) wrongletter = [] def main():     x in range(0, len(wordtarget)):             while (gamespace[x] !=     wordtarget[x]):             getletter()             in range(0,len(wordtarget)):                 if (wordtarget[i] == userletter):                     gamespace[i] = userletter                 elif (wordtarget[i] != userletter):                     print "letter incorrect, try again"                     wrongletter.append(userletter)             print ("incorrect letters: %s" % wrongletter)             print ("correct letters: %s" % gamespace)             if (gamespace == wordtarget):                 print "congratulations! won"                 main()

i'm guessing problem lies loops i'm running , way i'm checking right answer can't figure out.

the loop checking letter seems issue. try replacing with:

        position = 0         ptr = wordtarget.find(userletter, position)         while ptr != -1:             gamespace[ptr] = userletter             position = ptr + 1             ptr =  wordtarget.find(userletter, position)          if position == 0: # no match ever found             print "letter incorrect, try again"             wrongletter.append(userletter)

also replace original loop while ("".join(gamespace) != wordtarget):, , should go.

-
realizing i'm going take beating this, have several questions "best practices" when constructing laravel route. do laravel routes run "first come first serve" top bottom? if route found, pass control controller (or perform action) , terminate? i have part of application acts url shortner. so, route looks this: route::get('/{id}', array('as' => 'home.text', 'uses' => 'homecontroller@text'), function($id){ //make sure id exists before pushing controller. if (storage::where('shortcode','=', $id)->count() > 0) { // route found } }); how can improved? one, i'm not sure how pass processing on controller conditionally.. sort of controller::make() ..? 3) there better way in laravel check if record exists versus doing mode::where('column','=','value')->count() 4) have legacy urls http://url.com/?...
