Snakes and Ladders Game!

 Hey! Welcome back to my blog! 

In this blog we will learn to create our one of the favorite childhood game "SNAKES AND LADDERS". I hope everyone is aware about this game. I still remember I used to play this game during my summer vacation and perhaps those were the best days. 

Okay, let's start python coding for the same game!

So for this particular piece of code, I have assumed the following game board and according to that numbers are assigned to the snakes and ladders.

from PIL import Image

import random

end=100

def show_board():

    img=Image.open('C:\\Users\\asus01\\Desktop\\slb.jpg')

    img.show()

def check_ladder(points):

        if points==3:

            print("Ladder")

            return 51

        elif points==6:

            print("Ladder")

            return 27

        elif points==20:

            print("Ladder")

            return 70

        elif points==36:

            print("Ladder")

            return 55

        elif points==63:

            print("Ladder")

            return 95

        elif points==68:

            print("Ladder")

            return 100

        else:

            #Not a ladder

            return points

        

def check_snake(points):

    if points==25:

        print("Snake")

        return 5

    elif points==34:

        print("Snake")

        return 1

    elif points==47:

        print("Snake")

        return 19

    elif points==65:

        print("Snake")

        return 52

    elif points==87:

        print("Snake")

        return 57

    elif points==91:

        print("Snake")

        return 61

    elif points==99:

        print("Snake")

        return 69

    else: 

        return points

    if points==end:

        return True

    else:

        return False

            c=input("Press 1 to continue or 0 to quit:")

            if c==0:

                print(p1_name,'scored',pp1)

                print(p2_name,'scored',pp2)

                print("Quitting the game thanks!")

                break

            #roll a die 1,2,3,4,5,6,

            dice=random.randint(1,6)

            print('Dice showed: ',dice)
