Hello! I am trying to code a bean-bag toss game in python where the program generates three random dots inside a turtle graphic. Each different hole means a different score, but I don't know how to write the function to calculate the total score with all three random points and display the score on the score board. It is hard to explain,
One of the things you learn in programming is that you can't write code until you understand the concept. So before you worry about the code you need to think more about what you are trying to do. Once you can articulate the problem the solution will be easier to see.
And if you can't explain what you are trying to do there is little chance of us guessing what it is.
As a start you could try sketching the user interface of your game. Name the elements. Then describe the interaction between the user and the game. (FWIW This technique is known as writing a use-case in software engineering) Include all the alternative outcomes for a given action.
