I'm trying to get specific results from my Lucky Sevens program, but I'm not sure where to go from here

I'm trying to calculate the number of rolls it takes to go broke, and the amount of rolls that would have left you with the most money. The program is split into several functions outside of main (not my choice) so that makes it more difficult for me.
I'm very new to python, and this is an exercise for school. I'm just not really sure where to go from here, and I realize I'm probably doing some of this wrong. Here's the code I have so far:
import random
def displayHeader(funds):
print ("--------------------------")
print ("--------------------------")
print ("- Lucky Sevens -")
print ("--------------------------")
print ("--------------------------")
funds = int(input("How many dollars do you have? "))
def rollDie(newFunds):
#this function is supposed to simulate the roll of two die and return results
while funds > 0:
diceRoll = random.randint(1,6)
totalRoll = (diceRoll + diceRoll)
if totalRoll == 7:
funds = funds + 4
else:
funds = funds - 1
if funds == 0:
newFunds = funds
def displayResults():
#this function is supposed to display the final results.
#the number of rolls, the number of rolls you should have stopped at, and the max amount of money you would have had.
def main():
#everything gathered from the last function would be printed here.
main()

import random
maxmoney = []
minmoney = []
def displayHeader():
print ("--------------------------")
print ("--------------------------")
print ("- Lucky Sevens -")
print ("--------------------------")
print ("--------------------------")
funds = int(input("How many dollars do you have? "))
return funds
def rollDie():
#this function is supposed to simulate the roll of two die and return results
funds = displayHeader()
while funds > 0:
diceRoll1 = random.randint(1,6)
diceRoll2 = random.randint(1,6)
totalRoll = (diceRoll1 + diceRoll2)
if totalRoll == 7:
funds = funds + 4
maxmoney.append(funds)
else:
funds = funds - 1
minmoney.append(funds)
def displayResults():
#this function is supposed to display the final results.
#the number of rolls, the number of rolls you should have stopped at, and the max amount of money you would have had.
rollDie()
numOfRolls = len(maxmoney) + len(minmoney)
numOfRolls2Stop = (len(maxmoney) - 1 - maxmoney[::-1].index(max(maxmoney))) + (len(minmoney) - 1 - minmoney[::-1].index(max(maxmoney)-1)) + 1 if maxmoney and minmoney else 0
maxAmount = max(maxmoney) if maxmoney else 0
return numOfRolls, numOfRolls2Stop, maxAmount
def main():
#everything gathered from the last function would be printed here.
a, b, c = displayResults()
print('The number of total rolls is : ' + str(a))
print("The number of rolls you should've stopped at is: " + str(b))
print("The maximun amount of money you would've had is: $" + str(c))
main()

Your program use variables that can only be accessed in certain scopes, so I think that the most recommended thing is that you use a class.
displayHeader input method it could stop the execution of the program since if you do not introduce a numerical value it will raises an exception called ValueError, if this does not help you much, I advise you to read the code carefully and add missing variables such as the input amount and the final amount and others...
class rollDiceGame():
def __init__(self):
self.funds = 0
self.diceRollCount = 0
def displayHeader(self):
print ("--------------------------")
print ("--------------------------")
print ("- Lucky Sevens -")
print ("--------------------------")
print ("--------------------------")
self.funds = int(input("How many dollars do you have? "))
def rollDice(self):
while self.funds > 0:
diceRoll = random.randint(1,6)
totalRoll = (diceRoll + diceRoll)
self.diceRollCount += 1
if totalRoll == 7:
self.funds += 4
else:
self.funds -= 1
def displayResult(self):
print('Roll count %d' % (self.diceRollCount))
print('Current funds %d' % (self.funds))
def main():
test = RollDiceGame()
test.displayHeader()
test.rollDice()
test.displayResult()
main()

Error with a player turn ending loop in the Zombie Dice game

I'm trying to develop a code for the zombie dice game.
My problem is when the first player replies that he doesn't want to continue playing.
The game ends and I can't get the second player to play. Can someone help me?

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I'm new as a programmer. If anyone knows how to help me with this problem, I would be grateful.

EDIT: Well now the code just works. I can switch players just fine, but if you go through all the characters it crashes again since jogadorAtual gets too big for listaJogadores. I don't quite understand the game, but assuming you want to start back with the first player, an elegant way you can accomplish that is by doing modulus with the % operator, which divides two numbers but returns the remainder. If you divide the number of players by the size of listaJogadores, you'll always get a number inside listaJogadores's range.
# Change this...
print("PLAYER TURN: ", listaJogadores[jogadorAtual])
# ...to this
print("PLAYER TURN: ", listaJogadores[jogadorAtual % len(listaJogadores)])
If that's not what you need for your game, let me know.
Original answer: Is the game ending or is it crashing? When I run the game, it always crashes with:
File "C:\Users\me\Desktop\Untitled-1.py", line 56, in <module>
diceDrawns.append(diceDrawn)
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'append'
This is because after looping, you try to do diceDrawns.append(), but you've already replaced the diceDrawns list with an integer on line 87. I'm not sure if you meant to replace diceDrawn instead, but that's definitely the source of the problem.
An unrelated note: You can do += as a shorthand way to increment a variable by a certain amount, so you can replace a lot of instances of things like currentPlayer = currentPlayer + 1 with currentPlayer += 1, and the same can be done with any operator, so you could also do things like -= or *=

Python 2.7.3 Code Loops Without a While Loop

I am relatively new to programming, so don't be surprised if there are some minor hiccups in the code, but the problem that is happening is that this code seems to loop itself, the whole thing and I don't understand why. I looked at the actual code that runs this function but it seemed fine. So I cannot find any error in this code that makes it loop itself. (If the problem isn't in this code then the looping code it beneath it)

Thank you!

Look at your return statement at the end of thebeast. At the end of the function, you call the function again! Since this happens every time you call it, you will never stop calling it (until you hit the maximum recursion depth). Considering that you don't capture the return value of thebeast in randomevents, you should consider it not returning anything.

Local variable referenced before assignment (don't want to use global)

I'm learning Python using "Learn Python the hard way" and am currently making a simple game
Following the book's guidelines, each "room" is to be it's own function and herein lies my problem, I have some variables that need to be accessed by all functions. e.g. Current_health, armor, strength stat.
I have looked at the previous questions on here (that I actually understood) and the only solution seems to be to declare it as a global variable within the function, but as I'm going to have 20+ rooms (functions) it seems a bit silly to declare them all every time
The other option is to pass the variable when calling the function, but as I need to put through 8 variables each time that also seems impractical. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll paste the code below in case it helps (the game is far from finished so some may not make sense)
Right now the start() works because of my global variables but I'll run into the error as soon as it tries to run shadow_figure() because of the wep_dam reference

You may wrap your globals in class:
class Player:
str = 0
wep_dam = 0
dam = str + wep_dam
cha = 0
sne = 0
arm = 0
max_life = 10
points_remaining = 0
and access its fields in rooms like this: Player.arm += 3

Why is Int() conversion not working? [closed]

Post can be closed. Turns out I messed up something unknown, because now I retried and the int() function is working as I wanted.
`
`
This is a small piece of code that I wrote:
def damagecalculating(self):
self.damage = random.randrange(1,100) * self.weapondamage / 5
self.damage = int(self.damage)
(used long words here to make clear what I am doing)
So what I'm doing is calculating the damage a player does in an attack. but I want an integer and not a float so had to add the extra line.
This returns a float for some reason:
self.damage = int((random.randrange(1,100) * self.weapondamage) / 5)
I don't understand that, because what I see is that random.randrange(1,100) is calculated, then self.wepdamage is found and thus the formula becomes, for example: 55 * 10 / 5.
Why would this return a float in the first place (I found it has something to do with the /)? And why does int() not work? because int(55*10/5) does return an integer.
I did already find http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/17202363/int-conversion-not-working but this does not answer my question as to why or if this can be done in one line.
Edit:
I don't really see why this would be needed but this is the full code as some requested. Please note that I'm very new to programming and there is probably a bunch of stuff that can be done better. Also it's far from done.

The issue you are experiencing is that in Python 3.x the division operator / performs true division - that is, the returned value is float. If you want the behaviour of Python 2.x, that is integer division use the // operator. Note, that the // division result will be int if the dividend and divisor are integers.
>>> 5 / 10
0.5
>>> 5 // 10
0
>>> type(5 // 10)
<class 'int'>
For floats, the // operator still returns a float:
>>> 5.0 // 10
0.0
>>> 5 // 10.0
0.0
