So I have code for a 2048 board:
count = 0
for i in range(16):
print(nlist[i], end = ' ')
count += 1
if count == 4:
print("")
count = 0
and this works fine if all the values are single digit numbers:
0 0 0 8
0 4 0 0
0 0 2 2
0 0 0 0
but if I have multiple numbers with more than 1 digit:
16 0 2 2048
8 2 32 64
2 2 0 0
2048 2048 4096 4096
All the spacing gets messed up. Is there any fix for this?
Avoid writing custom functions for doing this. There are lots of python packages out there that can print stuff in a neat table.
My suggestion would be to use PrettyTable
from prettytable import PrettyTable
t = PrettyTable(header=False, border=False)
for i in range(0,16,4):
t.add_row(range(i, i+4))
print t
# 0 1 2 3
# 4 5 6 7
# 8 9 10 11
# 12 13 14 15
As Keatinge mentions in the comment, iterate over the array before printing and find the longest number.
length = max(map(lambda x: len(str(x)), nlist)) + 1
We take nlist, figure out the length of each number when written as text, then take the maximum and add one (the +1 is so that there's a space between the numbers). Then, inside the loop, we stringify the number we're looking at and add spaces as needed.
text = str(x)
text += ' ' * (length - len(text))
Complete example:
count = 0
length = max(map(lambda x: len(str(x)), nlist)) + 1
for i in range(16):
text = str(nlist[i])
text += ' ' * (length - len(text))
print(text, end = '')
count += 1
if count == 4:
print()
count = 0
