Check user input against json list strings












0















I am developing a guess the answer from an image game for a project. The images and correct answers are stored in a list in a json file. The images are randomly rendered on the game page, where the player inputs their answer. I am trying to find a way to compare the users answers with the randomly generated image. Below are some of the items in the list



{
"players": [

{
"image_source": "static/img/portfolio/neymar.jpg",
"answer": "Neymar"
},

{
"image_source": "static/img/portfolio/hugo_lloris.jpg",
"answer": Lloris"
},

{
"image_source": "static/img/portfolio/lorenzo_insigne.jpg",
"answer": "Insigne"
}


The user enters the answer in a form on the html page. As the images are randomly generated this is not as straight forward as I hoped.



My initial attempt uses Jinja and hidden forms:



<img class="img-fluid" {{ loop.index }}. src="{{ player.image_source }}" alt="player image">
<form method="POST">
<div class="control-group">
<div class="hidden_form">
<textarea rows="1"
id="question_number" name="question_number"
type="hidden" value="{{ loop.index }}">
</textarea>
</div>
<div class="hidden_form">
<textarea rows="1"
id="answer" name="answer"
type="hidden" value="{{ player.answer }}">
</textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-group
floating-label-form-group answers controls pb-2">
<textarea rows="1" class="form-control"
id="user_answer" name="user_answer"
type="text" placeholder="Enter Answer"
required="required"
data-validation-required-message="Please enter your answer.">
</textarea>
</div>


However, I would like to avoid using the hidden forms as I find this a little messy.



My Python code is:



@app.route('/play', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def answers():
if session:
if request.method == "POST":
session['question_number'] +=1
session['guess'] = request.form.get("user_answer")
session['correct_answer'] = request.form.get("answer")
if session['guess'] == session['correct_answer']:
flash('Correct!')
else:
flash('Incorrect, please try again or skip to the next question')

    What do you have so far? Did you break down the problem into smaller chunks yet? This, as is, is too broad.

  • Try using pandas DataFrame to load the json file into your program. And then you can perform a lot of operations on that without having to use loops and all.
