I created my own dating game (see attached). In this game, I wanted to incorporate “he, him, his” or “she, her, her” throughout the game depending on the user’s sexual preference. While I was able to do that, my code seems off as my intuition tells me that any code living outside of a method (see lines 43-54) is not the correct way to go about it. However, when I put lines 43-54 in a method/function, the attributes (i.e. “he, him, his, she, her”) were not recognized throughout the rest of the code.
Does this code look off? What should I be doing differently?
Here’s the code:
