looping methods

Ignore the code for now - what is it you are trying to create here? Define the outline of what should happen and we can work out the best way to write that in code.

Steve.

I'll just send the whole thing. I'm learning right now off of learnrubythehardway and one of the exercises are to make a game here's what I have so far..

def start
    puts "You walk home at night and realize there's a creepy abandoned house across the street from you. For some reason you think it's an excellent idea to walk into the creepy ass house."
    puts "So you walk in and realize that there's a long creepy hallway and you immediatly regret your decision, but you turn around and, THE DOOR IS GONE!!"
    puts "You panic and start running down the hallway, you come across two doors, one on the left, and one on the right. 'Great' you think to yourself. These doors are the only way out from what you have gathered. Which door do you choose?"

    print "> "
    choice = gets.chomp!

    if choice =~ /left/i
        corpse_room 
        elsif choice =~ /right/i
        water_room 
    else 
        dead("You choose not to go into a door, you stumble around till you starve.")
    end
end

def freedom
    puts "You have survived through the tasks that have been presented to you. would you like to play again?"
    choice = gets.chomp!

    if choice =~ /yes/i


        elsif choice =~ /no/i
        puts "Thank you for playing, hope you enjoyed!"
    else 
        puts "You may exit the screen at anytime."
    end
end

def corpse_room
    puts "You walk into a dark room and there's an over bearing smell of death. You look around as your eyes adjust to the dark and see dead bodies everywhere, one of the dead bodies is hanging by a hook in the middle of the room. You look at it and notice there's a chain around it's neck."

Idk why it did the two boxes..?

exercise 36.

I'm trying to loop

def freedom puts "You have survived through the tasks that have been presented to you. would you like to play again?" choice = gets.chomp!

if choice =~ /yes/i

to the beginning of the game if the answer is "yes"

more specifically I want the game to start over from

def start puts "You walk home at night and realize there's a creepy abandoned house across the street from you. For some reason you think it's an excellent idea to walk into the creepy ass house." puts "So you walk in and realize that there's a long creepy hallway and you immediatly regret your decision, but you turn around and, THE DOOR IS GONE!!" puts "You panic and start running down the hallway, you come across two doors, one on the left, and one on the right. 'Great' you think to yourself. These doors are the only way out from what you have gathered. Which door do you choose?"

If they answer yes to the 'freedom' question

=~ /yes/i just makes it so that no matter how they spell 'yes' it will accept it. Such as Yes YES yEs yES yeS etc.

So if i just called the start method under there is would work? I wouldn't have to loop it? I feel kinda dumb now lol..

Well thank you! It worked and you are my savior
