How can I create an array that I can call a specific 'card' from? (it makes sense in the p-CodePudding

I'm trying to create some sort of card game in python but I can't get past a pretty crucial part of the design-designing the card faces as callable objects. I have my array of just heart cards below (I tried to divide the card suits into 4 different functions because I can't figure out how to make it one function) but when I try to print the art it comes out all in one line.

heartsArt = {

1 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 1 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),  
2 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 2 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),
3 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 3 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),
4 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 4 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),
5 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 5 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),
6 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 6 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),
7 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 7 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),
8 : (
    '┌───┐',
    '| 8 |',
    '└───┘',
  ),  
}

cardHeight = len(heartsArt[1])
cardLength = len(heartsArt[1][0])
cardFaceSeparator = ''

def generateHeartFace(cardValues):
  cardFaces = []
  for x in cardValues:
    cardFaces.append(heartsArt[x])

  for xID in range(cardHeight):
    rowComp = []
    for card in cardFaces:
      rowComp.append(heartsArt[card])      #line 57
    rowString = cardFaceSeparator.join(rowComp)
    cardFaceRows.append(rowString)


generateHeartFace([1])   #line 62

The error that comes up is:

Traceback (most recent call last)
  File "script.py", line 62 in <module> generateHeartFace([1])
  File "script.py", line 57, in generateHeartFace
        rowComp.append(heartsArt[card])
  KeyError: ('┌───┐', '| 1 |', '└───┘')

If someone could please explain both/either why my code doesn't work, or how I could make it work it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

CodePudding user response：

I think I've answered all your questions in the comments. Here's your code working:

def generateHeartFace(cardValues):
  cardFaces = []
  for x in cardValues:
    cardFaces.append(heartsArt[x])

  cardFaceRows = []
  for xID in range(cardHeight):
    rowComp = []
    for card in cardFaces:
      rowComp.append(card[xID])      #line 57
    rowString = cardFaceSeparator.join(rowComp)
    cardFaceRows.append(rowString)

  print('\n'.join(cardFaceRows))

Don't forget to pass an iterable:

generateHeartFace([1,2,3])

And here's another way to do it that does not require the heartsArt dictionary:

def generateHeartFace(cardValues):
    print(cardFaceSeparator.join("┌───┐" * len(cardValues)))
    print(cardFaceSeparator.join(f"| {c} |" for c in cardValues))
    print(cardFaceSeparator.join("└───┘" * len(cardValues)))
