Converting Data Structures, Oh Boy!

Here is what the land/sea gene library used to look like:

spectrumgenesea = {    "RR": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Maroon    "Rr": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",    "rr": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Bronze    "rG": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAaA",    "RG": "sssSsbbccEEwwwwffbBsbfggiggiggittdEeAAAA",  # Gold    "Rg": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAaAA",    "rg": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Lime    "GG": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Olive    "Gg": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",    "gg": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffBBsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Jade    "Gb": "sssSsbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeaAAA",    "GB": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Teal    "gB": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",    "gb": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Ceru    "BB": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Bloo    "Bb": "sssssbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",    "bb": "sssssbbCcEEwwWwFfbbsbfGgiGgiggittdeeAAAA",  # Indigo    "rB": "SSsssbbCcEewwWwffbbsbfGgiGgiggiTtdEeAAAa",    "RB": "SSSSSBbCCeeWwWwffBbSbFGGiGGiggiTTdEEAAAA",  # Violet    "Rb": "SSSSSBbCCeeWwWWFfBBSBFGGiGGiGgitTdEEaAaA",    "rb": "SSSSSBbCCeeWwWwffBBSbfGGiGGiggiTTdEEAAAA",  # Tyrian    "m1": "SSSSSBBCCeeWWWWFFBBSbfGGeGGeGGeTTDEeaaaa",  # Deepdweller    "m2": "sssssBbCcEeWwWwffbbsbFGGiGGiggittdEEAAAA",  # Recessive Riverdweller    "m3": "SSssSbbccEEwwWwffbbSBFggiggiGGittdEeAAAA",  # Hidden Amphibian    "m4": "SSSSSbbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Land-dweller, technically    "m5": "sssssBbCCeeWwWwffBbSbFGGiGGiggiTTdEEAAAA",  # Seadweller, technically    "m6": "SssssbbccEEwwWwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Webbed Toes    "m7": "ssSssBbccEEwwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Swimbladder    "m8": "ssssSbbccEEwwwwFFbbsbfggiggiggittdeeAAAA",  # Body Fins    "m9": "Sssssbbcceewwwwffbbsbfggiggiggittdeeaaaa",  # No ears/fins, can't breathe.    }

Longass confusing alphanumeric strings.  Space-efficient!  I love it!  But I had to write a function to decode each type of gene, and one to convert it into descriptions of things, and remember which specific character in the string was each gene, and like, there was so much overhead.  Also it was possible for me to put things in the gene that do not save to file well.

Also I did that, and don’t want to undo it, so I’m converting the entire slurry gene library to this format instead:

def genesea(inp):    # Move all these settings into a .txt file that it gets loaded from at start of program?    # That would be a memory and CPU hog, unless I put it in a .py in a cavern subfolder . . .    # Not today, but a possible tidying step in the future.  For now, one slurry file.    # Blank Setting    blank = {        "controls": {  # SS: as seadweller.  Ss/sS: check genes.  ss: as landdweller.            0: "",  # Ears, fins, wfingers, wtoes            1: "",  # gillneck, gillneckt, gillribs, gillribt, gillface, gillfacet, salt, air            2: "",  # bladders            3: "",  # biolum, teeth    # move teeth doubling gene?            4: "",  # dorsal/bodyfins,  eyelids, # move doubled eyelid gene elsewhere?            },        "bladders": "",    # BB several, Bb one, bb none.        "ears": "",        # EE full, Ee / eE half, ee none.        "cheekfins": "",   # CC full, Cc / cC half, cc none.                    # Make subgenes for earfin size, number of tines, etc.        "wfingers": "",    # WW full, Ww / wW half, ww none.  webbing        "wtoes": "",       # WW full, Ww / wW half, ww none.  webbing        "dorsalfins": "",  # FF big, Ff / fF small, ff none.        "biolum": "",      # BB full, Bb / bB partial, bb none.                    # Create subgenes for patterning, brightness, voluntary/reflexive...                    # conscious/unconscious, steady state / bloodflow,                    # fin glow, eye glow, stripes, freckles, ...        "gillneck": {"main": "",   # GG Full, Gg/gG half, gg none                     "type": ""},  # i internal, e external        "gillribs": {"main": "",   # GG Full, Gg/gG half, gg none                     "type": ""},  # i internal, e external        "gillface": {"main": "",   # GG Full, Gg/gG half, gg none                     "type": ""},  # i internal, e external        "toothdouble": "",  # Move to Teeth.  tt land, TT barracuda, Tt blend, D doubled, d singled.        "eyelids": "",      # Move to Eyes.   EE lids, Ee/eE permanent transparent layer, ee normal land.        "salt": "",         # Move to Organs.

To access things from the old format, I would do things like: 

slurry.spectrumgenesea[”bb”]

gene1 = Aquatic(strblood, strsea); strseadesc = gene1.desc

...but in the new format, I will instead say:

gene1 = slurry.genesea(”bb”)

strseadesc = seadesc(gene1)

...So basically I’m rewriting the Entire Program.  But, as an advantage, not only do I get to write tidier code at the end of it (and can access inernal variables Much more easily), it will be easier to add and change features of genes, any time I update the format I only need to update the Blank and Primary/Secondary listings and everything else will fill itself in to match the new format, and also every single sub-gene is labled in english.

So if I want to know if an indigo has webbed toes?  I just check their sea[”wtoes”].  If I want to look at one of their left top back teeth?  I’d check their mouth[’top”][”L”][6].

I am going to be translating this code for a solid week.

programming party with a fellow nerd is going down right now.

we are like back alley surgeons struggling to bring this wretched unholy abomination of a chunk of code to life... and we have about 5 hours to do it.

if you know python please help thanks

update: we have gotten this beast to show signs of life. The basic menu is working now but none of the buttons are. ive cracked out the 8-bit music to keep troop moral up.

update: heck yea i got a huge chuck of it to work and it only took 4 hours! It's due in 10 hours so I've still got time

update: all good things must come to an end. currently trying to figure out why the login does work. my nerd helper has gone to sleep and soon so shall i. im thinking the problem somewhere could be solved with global variables. right now, if this code was a vehicle it would be one of those you see pieced together in some dudebro's backyard. like the Millennium Falcon, it may not look the prettiest, but she's got it where it counts kid.

current version of the code: http://pastebin.com/6C753vi3
