Correct Program spacing

[Thurgan]

Can someone help me with program spacing? I know I buggered it up in my area file and was asked to fix it. Is this remotely close, and if not could someone correctly space this for me so I can use it as a judge to do the others ones?
Thanks!

mpecho Thorim turns the token over in his hands and bobs his head slightly.

sayto $n Ye earned a token I see, proves yer perhaps capable to be learnin sumthin.

sayto $n The ways of the dwarves be many, whit were it ye be seekin tae learn?

mpmset $n quest 5 3 1

mpmset $n quest 5 3 2

mpjunk 38308

else

if quest(5, 3, $n) == 2

Of course that removed all of the spacing entirely when I posted it...lol

I did the same thing; I was way too used to Python's 4-space indent lol. We use 2-space indentation, so your main block starts at column 1 (no indentation at all), first indent is at column 3, second at 5, etc. I could send you an example by email if you like, since forums aren't very code friendly. Pm if interested!

Incidentally, I was also directed in a few other finer points not mentioned in the lessons that your above snippet includes. Setting qbits should be done at the start of a block, not at the end, and we use questr not quest to check and set qbits.

Hope that's remotely helpful.

Thanks, PM sent Areia. The sample is also helpful, thanks! I had actually forgotten all about it

Is the spacing actually critical to operation, or does it just make it easier to see/understand when looking at it?

[Harroghty]

No, the spacing is an administrative requirement not a technical one.
