jumbled()

Hi there! How do I go about quitting the game whenever I type in 'quit' or 'Quit'?

Basically I've created a program that gives you a mixed, jumbled up word, then I'll have to guess it correctly. When I get the ability to type, I'd like to type quit so I can exit the game whenever necessary.

Thanks in advance! (You don't need to know how the game works, I just need to find a way to type in quit then the game will quit)

Also, where would I type in the code to make it quit? Please explain this also if you're just giving me the code.

import sys
guess = raw_input('Guess the word: ')
if guess in ['quit','Quit']:
    print "Goodbye!"
    sys.exit()

why note `guess.trim().lower() = 'quit'` since QUIT quIT qUiT QUIT QUit...etc should all be valid. Or even `guess.trim().lower() in ['q', 'quit']` – Mike McMahon Nov 07 '14 at 05:47

We could also add: stop, exit, bye, goodbye, f***off, die, ^D, i need to go now, for the love of GOD QUIT ALREADY, etc. so between the set test and your suggestion, I think its covered. – Paul Nov 07 '14 at 05:48
After I type quit, it keeps looping around to the next jumbled word? – juiceb0xk Nov 07 '14 at 05:58
Does it also print "Goodbye!" ? – Paul Nov 07 '14 at 05:59
The block here goes inside the loop2 using your existing guess=raw_input line, except the import which goes at the top. – Paul Nov 07 '14 at 06:03
Nevermind! Instead of sys.exit, I used loop = False and it quits the loop and stops the program! Thanks for the help guys. – juiceb0xk Nov 07 '14 at 06:03
Yeah well `sys.exit()` will work, `sys.exit` won't. Glad you got it working. – Paul Nov 07 '14 at 06:04

You can use another elif condition.

import sys
# ...

if guess.lower() == word:    
    print '\nCorrect!'
    # ...
elif guess.lower() == 'quit':
    sys.exit()    
else:
    print '\nTry again!\n'
    # ...
