    <p>I am making a program for my family for keeping ping pong scores. When the score limit is reached, it should end the game and say who won. This works for one player but not the other, and I can't figure out why. When P2's score reaches 11, it says that P2 wins and restarts, but when P1's score reaches 11, it just keeps on going. Please keep in mind that I am new to this. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>import sys def defaults(): global p1sc global p2sc global p1adv global p2adv global p1name global p2name global sclimit p1sc = 0 p2sc = 0 p1adv = 0 p2adv = 0 p1name = "Player 1" p2name = "Player 2" sclimit = 11 def checkwin(): global p1sc global p2sc global p1name global p2name global sclimit if p2sc &lt; sclimit: program() if p1sc &lt; sclimit: program() if p2sc &lt;= sclimit: print(p2name + " wins!") defaults() print("New game!") program() if p1sc &lt;= sclimit: print(p1name + " wins!") defaults() print("New game!") program() elif p1sc == sclimit - 1 and p2sc == sclimit - 1: print("Sudden Death!") suddendeath() else: print("DEBUG: CHECKWIN FAILED") def displayscore(): global p1name global p2name global p1sc global p2sc print(p1name + ": " + str(p1sc)) print(p2name + ": " + str(p2sc)) def program(): global p1sc global p2sc global p1name global p2name global sclimit cmdinput = str(raw_input("Command: ")) if cmdinput == "1": p1sc = p1sc + 1 displayscore() checkwin() elif cmdinput == "2": p2sc = p2sc + 1 displayscore() checkwin() elif cmdinput == "q": p1sc = p1sc - 1 displayscore() checkwin() elif cmdinput == "w": p2sc = p2sc - 1 displayscore() checkwin() elif cmdinput == "name": p1name = str(raw_input("Player 1 name: ")) print("Player 1 name has been set to " + p1name) p2name = str(raw_input("Player 2 name: ")) print("Player 2 name has been set to " + p2name) program() elif cmdinput == "limit": sclimit = raw_input("Score limit: ") print("Score limit has been set to " + str(sclimit)) program() elif cmdinput == "exit": sys.exit() else: print("Command not recognised") program() def suddendeath(): global p1name global p2name global p1adv global p2adv cmdinput = str(raw_input("Command: ")) if cmdinput == "1": if p2adv == 0: p1adv = 1 elif p2adv == 1: p2adv = 0 elif p1adv == 1: print(p1name + " wins!") defaults() print("New game!") program() elif cmdinput == "2": if p1adv == 0: p2adv = 1 elif p1adv == 1: p1adv = 0 elif p2adv == 1: print(p2name + " wins!") defaults() print("New game!") program() defaults() program() </code></pre>

    1. COOff-topic: Don't use so many `globals`, start using Classes. And BTW the `str` call is redundant here: `str(raw_input(...))`.

    2. COAre you sure that code doesn't give you an `IndentationError`?

    3. COOk, thanks. As I said in the OP, I am very new to this, so any comments like this are greatly appreciated! Also it doesn't give me an indentation error, it's just me awkwardly pasting it into stack overflow

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
