I am making a simple text based game but I can't even get past the second line of code. My code so far looks like this:
print("Welcome To City Text! First You Must Name Your City.")
Then the person is supposed to type a name and the shell will print "Welcome To "Town Name" City" The problem is I don't know how to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?
From the fact that you're using print("text") rather than print "text", I assume you're using Python 3.x rather than Python 2.x. In that case, raw_input won't work, because that was renamed input (the original input function did something else, and was removed entirely).
So, if you're getting a NameError when you use raw_input, just replace it with input.
(If you aren't getting a NameError, you're using Python 2.x, and you should leave out the parenthesis around the string you're printing; in Python 2.x, print is a statement, not a function. It will still work with the parentheses, but it's just going to create confusion.)
The line raw_input() lets you get the input from the console. The argument you pass it is the line it prints before getting the input. So your code would look something like this:
var_name=raw_input("Welcome To City Text! First You Must Name Your City.")
this will print: Welcome To City Text! First You Must Name Your City. then let you type until you hit enter and return what you typed.
You can use x=raw_input() to get a string from the keyboard.
If you google "python input text from console" you will get lots of answers.
You can put the result into another string using
print("hello %s." % x)
You can also use
print("hello "+x+".")
which does more or less the same thing.
You can find more about this by googling for "formatting strings in python" or "concatenating strings in python"
x = input() and "hello {}.".format(x).
