Guys,

I just used something simple above because the example stuff gave me the
same problem - that is, using:

class Player
  def play_turn(warrior)
    if warrior.feel.enemy?
      warrior.attack!
    else
      warrior.walk!
    end
  end
end

results in:

Welcome to Ruby Warrior
[1] p - beginner - level 1 - score 0
[2] New Profile
Choose profile by typing the number: 1
Starting Level 1
- turn 1 -

./rubywarrior/p-beginner/player.rb:3:in `play_turn': undefined method
`feel' for #<RubyWarrior::Turn:0x7f4c176e0680 @action=nil, @senses={}>
(NoMethodError)

Not something I was expecting from something that is supposed to help teach
Ruby . .

Well, what do you have in front of you? nothing, so you just need to
warrior.walk!
You'll get the feel method later, you don't need it yet as there is no
enemy. (enemies will be shown on the map)

Thanks - I didn't realise that all the methods were not immediately available - maybe the script should respond with something nicer than the ugly error messages in this case?

Regards,

Phil.

your threads are fun but I would appreciate if you respected other
threads, not everything can be fun, and you know depending on your
answer I will be treated as a stupid troll feeder or a nice guy, I put
my reputation into your hands, are you going to let me down?

Kind regards
Robert

That's a good idea. If I have time, maybe I'll try to submit a patch..
Or you could directly ask the developer :slight_smile:
