I have created the first part of my python quiz, It took me a while to figure out, I have also created a list that contains 3 different subjects, Do any of you know how to assign a button to each element within my subject list? If this does not make any sense, please let me know (I'm new to this site)

to get this sort of behaviour you can make an input before everything else which determines what subject you choose based on user input. so something REAL simple like:
subject = int(input("Please choose what subject you would like
(number):\n[1]History\n[2]Maths\n[3]Geography\n"))
if subject == 1:
print("You have chosen History")
elif subject == 2:
print("You have chosen Maths")
elif subject == 3:
print("You have chosen Geography")
else:
print("that is not an available option")
This is probably the simplest it can get with menus... If you type 1 and press enter you get history and so on. i dont know how your program works but do what fits in.
There are probably better ways too this is just what I remember doing back in the day. Very simple stuff

I am trying to create a simple AI program which plays stick game. The problem is that I would like to subtract chosen stick from the total stick number. This simple code shows some error such as nonexisting value. I could not assign returning value for my values. Is there another way to subtracts value with functions?
import random
msg = input('Determine stick numbers:')
print('Stick number is determined as:', msg)
# First player move
def robot(stick):
y = stick % 4
if y==0:
y=randint(1,3)
mov=int(y)
print('machine chose:', mov)
total = stick-mov
return total
def human(stick2):
mov2= int(input('your turn:'))
print('human chose:', mov2)
total = stick2-mov2
return total
players= {
'1': robot,
'2': human
}
number1= input('Determine first player machine(1) or human(2):')
number2= input('Determine second player (1) or (2):')
player1=players[number1]
player2=players[number2]
print(player1, player2)
print('the game begins')
while True:
player1(int(msg))
if msg == 0: break
print('remained sticks:', msg)
player2(int(msg))
print('remained sticks:', msg)
if msg == 0: break

Your players are references functions:
players= {
'1': robot,
'2': human
}
Later you call them player1 and player2:
player1=players[number1]
player2=players[number2]
But when you use these functions you don't do anything with the return value:
player1(int(msg))
...
player2(int(msg))
So those functions return something, but you ignore the value. You need to either print that return value or assign it to a variable so you can do something with the value later.
Since your return values are called total perhaps you want:
total = player1(int(msg))
print('new total:', total)

return does work, of course; it returns a value. However in your code you are not capturing that value and it is immediately thrown away.
It's really not clear what you want, but perhaps you want something like this:
msg = player1(int(msg))

I am trying to use an achievement system in my game. The game is like cookie clicker except you type and enter the letter "L" over and over and can upgrade the effect done by each type. I am trying to make it so when you get a certain amount of coins, like 1000, it will display that you have achieved the 1000 coins achievement, however it doesn't seem to work. Here is the code:
if coins == 1000:
print("")
print("You have a new achievement!")
print("[✔] - Earn 1,000 points")
print("You have 1/6 coin achievements")
print("")
if coins == 10000:
print("")
print("You have a new achievement!")
print("[✔] - Earn 10,000 points")
print("You have 2/6 coin achievements")
print("")

Your specific problem is that you're using the wrong comparator. If you use ==. you're checking if the value exactly equals. You're interested in when a player "achieves" the value, so switch your comparators out for >=. That way, when a player goes from 980 to 1001 points, 1001 >= 1000 evaluates to True.
Note this will print the text every time you check, even if they've already got the achievement, so perhaps something like the following would be useful:
has_1000_achievement = False
has_10000_achievement = False
if coins >= 1000 and not has_1000_achievement:
has_1000_achievement = True
print("")
...
The solution provided by P i would undoubtedly work, but I believe it's not something you're ready to fluently understand at your current level.

Edit: After the OP added a comment the question got a little more clear to me. Maybe you could try the following (which is of course just an example as the OP did not provide a minimal running peace of code):
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
numCoinAchievements = 0
nextCoinLevel = 1000
for coins in range(0, 100000, 33):
if coins >= nextCoinLevel:
numCoinAchievements += 1
if numCoinAchievements == 1:
nextCoinLevel = 10000
elif numCoinAchievements == 2:
nextCoinLevel = 15000
else:
break
print("")
print("You have a new achievement!")
print("[✔] - Earn %d points" % nextCoinLevel)
print("You have %d/6 coin achievements" % numCoinAchievements)
print("")
Of course you have to adept the code to your needs, but it should make the problem clear!

This is my first post here and I am quite unsure on how to implement a vital piece of code in my coursework. I have created a very crude and basic recipe program on Python 3.4. Below is the piece I am missing.
• The program should ask the user to input the number of people.
• The program should output:
• the recipe name
• the new number of people
• the revised quantities with units for this number of people.
I am a complete beginner to programming and our teacher hasn't been very helpful and only explained the basics of file handling which I have attempted to implement into this program.
I will attach the code I have so far, but I would really appreciate some tips or an explanation on how I could implement this into my code and finally finish this task off as it is becoming very irksome.
Thank you!

I apologise if the code is cluttered or doesn't make sense. I am a complete novice.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
def start():
while True:
User_input = input("\nWhat would you like to do? " "\n 1) - Enter N to enter a new recipe. \n 2 - Enter V to view an exisiting recipe, \n 3 - Enter E - to edit a recipe to your liking. \n 4 - Or enter quit to halt the program " "\n ")
if User_input == "N":
print("\nOkay, it looks like you want to create a new recipe. Give me a moment..." "\n")
time.sleep(1.5)
new_recipe()
elif User_input == "V":
print("\nOkay, Let's proceed to let you view an existing recipe stored on the computer")
time.sleep(1.5)

Recipe_data.write(Steps)
Recipe_data.close()
def exist_recipe():

time.sleep(1)
def modify_recipe():
Choice_Exist = input("\nOkaym it looks like you want to modify a recipe. Please enter the name of this recipe ")
Exist_Recipe = open(Choice_Exist, "r+")
time.sleep(2)
ServRequire = int(input("Please enter how many servings you would like "))
start()
EDIT: This is the new code, however I can still not figure out how to allow a user to multiply the original servings by entering how many servings are required, as the default servings are in a text file. Does anyone know how this can be done? I am new to file-handling and have been researching constantly but to no avail.

For the number of people, you can get that from user input similar to how you got any other input in your code, with num_people = input("How many people?").
Something a little more concerning you should look at. Your start() function calls its self. Unless you are using recursion, functions should not call themselves, it will build up on the stack. Use a while loop with something like
while ( 1 ):
userinput = input("what would you like to do?")
if( userinput == "n"):
#new recipe
....
if (user input == "quit"):
sys.exit(1) #this will halt the program
else:
print "not valid input"

You stored the whole data in a text file. This makes storage and retrieval easy, but makes changing values real hard. In these cases, you usually use ... well nevermind: you asked the same question again and got a useful answer.

I am creating a quiz... and i want to make sure that people can choose how many question they want to answer..
Write a program for an application that let the user host a quiz game. The application will have a collection of questions with short answers. The program should ask the user how many question they want for their game. It will then ask that many questions in random order. When the user types in an answer, it will check the answer against the correct answer and keep track of the number of questions they got right. It will never ask the same question twice. When all the questions have been asked, or the user has quit (by typing "quit" as an answer), the program will print the score and the total number of questions asked

Main()

The main issue is in your while loop - you aren't doing anything with target, which is what is supposed to be governing the number of questions asked. Without going too crazy on suggested modifications, try replacing the code around your while loop with this:
score = 0
numberAsked = 0
while numberAsked < target:
qnNum = randint(0, len(Questions))
correct = askQuestion(Questions[qnNum], Answers[qnNum])
numberAsked = numberAsked + 1
if correct == "quit" :
break
elif correct :
score=score+1
del Questions[qnNum]
del Answers[qnNum]
This will loop while numberAsked is less than target. Your current issue is that your loop is governed by the length of the Questions list, which starts at 10 and decreases by 1 on each iteration. Therefore no matter what your target is, the loop will cycle through all of the questions.
