Hello,

I'm new to coding and don't know what I am doing wrong here. I am using VS Code, and below is what I've inputted. Only "john" and "programmer" are highlighted in red font, while the remaining code is either blue, green, or yellow. From my understanding, those phrases are causing the syntax error. Also, it works fine when I run the same code in IDLE Shell.

name = "john"

age = 21

weight = 160.1

occupation = "programmer"

>>>print(name, age, weight, occupation)

---->Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

NameError: name 'name' is not defined

Hi there!

I'm a programming beginner (So original! 😲) and a friend want me to code a cli based adventure game. So I opened python and realized I would probably need classes to not end up with a messy and unreadable tree-like code. Here is a program that contains an event class and a first event followed by a second event :

import climage
from colorama import just_fix_windows_console
import os
just_fix_windows_console()

terminalSize = os.get_terminal_size().columns
class Player:
	def __init__(self, name):
		self.name = name
	satiety = 10
	health = 10
	relationships = {}
	inventory = []

class Event:
	def __init__(self,
		pointsTo,
		text="",
		image=False,
		isImageUnicode=False,
		imageWidth=terminalSize-1,
		function=False,
		*args):

		self.text = text
		self.image = image
		self.isImageUnicode = isImageUnicode
		self.imageWidth = imageWidth
		self.pointsTo = pointsTo
		self.function = function
		self.args = args

	def play(self):
		if self.function != False:
			self.function(*self.args)
		if self.image != False:
			displaySize = self.imageWidth
			if displaySize > terminalSize-1:
				displaySize = terminalSize-1
			outputImage = climage.convert(self.image, is_unicode=self.isImageUnicode, width=displaySize)
			print(outputImage)
		print(self.text)
		wait = input("Press return to continue.")

class End:
	def play(self):
		print("Fini.")
		quit()


end = End()
event1 = Event(
	pointsTo=event2,
	text="This is event 1",
	image="images\\person.jpg",
	isImageUnicode=False
	)
event2 = Event(
	pointsTo=end,
	text="This is event 2",
	image="images\\city.jpg",
	isImageUnicode=False
	)
event1.play()

The problem is that when I define event1, event2 do not exist at all. To avoid this error, I would need to write my story backwards, it would be so painful and ugly. So do a clean solution even exists ?

Thanks for reading !
