Dragon Realm's Source Code
Here is the source code for the Dragon Realm game. Typing in the source code is a great
way to get used to the code. But if you don't want to do all this typing, you can download
the source code from this topic's website at the URL http://inventwithpython.com/chapter6.
There are instructions on the website that will tell you how to download and open the
source code file. You can use the online diff tool on the website to check for any mistakes
in your code.
One thing to know as you read through the code below: The blocks that follow the
def
lines define a function, but the code in that block does not run until the function is called.
The code does not execute each line in this program in top down order. This will be
explained in more detail later in this chapter.
