How do I create a list with the number I want in a loop?

Question

Say I want to create a new list every (in a loop) time the variable i (an integer) changes, eg:

game_1 = []

game_2 = []

game_3 = []

...

game_i = []

How would I do this?

I've tried putting game_i, which obviously doesn't work; neither does game[i],

You put what should have been the values of your variables into the list. — Klaus D., Oct 18 '18 at 03:42

I guess you are trying to dynamically name variables. This issue has been discussed before, check This link for details of alternatives.

Edit: second link you should consider Link

Yes, dynamically sounds right. I didn't know the terminology – Long Vuong Oct 18 '18 at 03:41
Thank you. These links seem better than my list approach – Long Vuong Oct 18 '18 at 03:43

gb = globals()
for i in range(10):
    gb['game_{0}'.format(i)] = []
