The flames calculator is used to find the compatibility between you and your partner.
Flames stand for Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings. It is a famous game that used to be played by young girls. The game does not use any sort of algorithm or scientific method to predict whether an individual is perfect for someone or not, it’s simply meant to be fun.
From a Python programming point of view it’s a fun programming exercise and can show you a few techniques
We give 2 examples – a command line one and a GUI one.
Code example 1
def flames_meaning(result):
switcher = {
'F': 'Friendship',
'L': 'Love',
'A': 'Affection',
'M': 'Marriage',
'E': 'Enemy',
'S': 'Sweetheart'
}
return switcher.get(result)
def flames(name1, name2):
flames = 'FLAMES'
for x in name1:
if x in name2:
name2 = name2.replace(x, '', 1)
name1 = name1.replace(x, '', 1)
flamed_name = name1 + name2
print('\nFlame name >>> ' + flamed_name)
flamed_name_length = len(flamed_name)
print('\nCompute FLAMES...')
print('\nNow ' + flames)
while len(flames) != 1:
if len(flames) >= flamed_name_length:
striked_out_char = flames[flamed_name_length - 1]
flames = flames.replace(striked_out_char, '', 1)
else:
striked_out_char = flames[(flamed_name_length % len(flames)) - 1]
flames = flames.replace(striked_out_char, '', 1)
print('Now ' + flames + ', striked out ' + striked_out_char)
print('\nFLAMES result: ' + flames_meaning(flames))
print('*** WELCOME TO THE FLAMES GAME ***\n')
name1 = input('Enter name 1 (first name only) >>> ').upper()
name2 = input('Enter name 2 (first name only) >>> ').upper()
flames(name1, name2)
When run with 2 random names
*** WELCOME TO THE FLAMES GAME ***
Enter name 1 (first name only) >>> william
Enter name 2 (first name only) >>> barbara
Flame name >>> WILLIMBRBARA
Compute FLAMES…
Now FLAMES
Now FLAME, striked out S
Now FAME, striked out L
Now FAM, striked out E
Now FA, striked out M
Now F, striked out A
FLAMES result: Friendship

A slightly different way to do it, this is a GUI version
from tkinter import *
def clear_all():
Player1_field.delete(0, END)
Player2_field.delete(0, END)
Status_field.delete(0, END)
# set focus on the Player1_field entry box
Player1_field.focus_set()
def tell_status():
p1 = Player1_field.get()
p2 = Player2_field.get()
p1 = p1.replace(" ", "")
p2 = p2.replace(" ", "")
p1 = list(p1)
p2 = list(p2)
Status_field.insert(10, result_flame(p1, p2))
def result_flame(x, y):
for i in x[:]:
if i in y:
x.remove(i)
y.remove(i)
count = len(x) + len(y)
result = ["Friends", "Love", "Affection", "Marriage", "Enemy", "Siblings"]
while len(result) > 1:
split_index = (count % len(result) - 1)
if (split_index >= 0):
right = result[split_index + 1:]
left = result[:split_index]
result = right + left
else:
result = result[:len(result) - 1]
return result
