# Hello! This is my attempt at a practical application for the fantasychar module I created for SDE 188 using the mycgi and os modules for form handling.
# Note that I have no experience with HTML so a good portion of the HTML/CSS style and syntax was copied and pasted directly from stack overflow pages.
from mycgi import Form
import fantasychar
import os
import html

# Get form data (handles both GET and POST)
form = Form(environ=os.environ, keep_blank_values=True)

# Retrieve current values from form (defaults to a lesson on button-pushing on first load)
p_race = form.getvalue('p_race', 'Press the button to generate a new Race & Class!')
p_class = form.getvalue('p_class', '')
p_weap = form.getvalue('p_weap', 'Press the button to generate a new Weapon!')

# Check for action from form submit
action = form.getvalue('action')

# Uses functions from the fantasychar.py module to return a random Race, Class, & Weapon using form submit when buttons are clicked.
if action == 'gen_race':
    fantasychar.random_char()
    p_race = fantasychar.pRace
    p_class = fantasychar.pClass

"""
Fantasy Character Creator Module:
Contains several functions for generating random D&D characters!

random_char() will generate a random race and class and assign them to the fantasychar.pRace and fantasychar.pClass variables.

generate_weap() will generate a random weapon for your character and assign it to the fantasychar.pWeap variable.

choose_spell() will generate a random cantrip for your character and assign it to the fantasychar.pSpell variable.

character_summary() will run each function and print a character summary containing each variable.
