19,337 PointsI get the error message: `Didn't get 'D20's in my 'Hand' instance` when appending D20s to the hand.
When I put this into my interpreter it gives me a list of D20s and I am definitely appending D20s to the dih list? I know I'm missing something and I bet it's going to be silly.
import random
class Die:
def __init__(self, sides=2):
if sides < 2:
raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
self.sides = sides
self.value = random.randint(1, sides)
def __int__(self):
return self.value
def __add__(self, other):
return int(self) + other
def __radd__(self, other):
return self + other
class D20(Die):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(sides=20)
from dice import D20
class Hand(list):
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)
@classmethod
def roll(cls, qty):
dih = []
for _ in range(qty):
dih.append(D20)
return dih

dih.append(D20())

19,337 PointsUsing the parenthasis after the D20 was the issue, thanks!
