Ways to simplify my code - Multichoice quiz

This is a multi-choice quiz for kids where they input their age and the algorithm determines what quiz they do (A or B). People less than 8 will do Quiz A but people less than 5 will get a warning message that they are too young to play but can play if they want to. People older than 8 do Quiz B but people who are older than 11 get a warning message stating that they are too old to play but can play if they want to. Note: I don't really care about the repeats/play again right now just want a way to simplify the base structure of the code without using complicated stuff and classes. Thanks for reading!

You can easily solve this using OOP. As you could see you can have Quiz class which represent a Quiz question, and to hold all questions you can create list of Quiz objects.
class Quiz(object):
"""docstring for Quiz."""
def __init__(self, question, options, answer):
super(Quiz, self).__init__()
self.question = question
self.options = options;
self.answer = answer
def show(self):
print(self.question, self.options, self.answer)
q = Quiz("this is question", ["apple", "banana", "cherry"], 1)
q.show()

Looping back to a specific line in Python

I am writing a program (for no specific purpose), where I take orders from users, which run the program. At some point, I ask them if they are happy with their decision. They have the option to "say" Yes or No. If their answer is no, I need the program to loop back to a specific point in the code. How can I do that?
Here's the code:

I am new relatively new to the coding scene.
Thank you in advance for any answers.

You can wrap your code inside a while loop:
while True:
// your code
// at some point in the code:
happiness = input("Are you happy?")
if happiness == "yes":
break
To go to a specific point in the code, you will have to use this pattern (or something similar) several times.

You can use break statement to stop the(infinite)loop while continue is used to skip something that is what you're looking for here.
So, your code needs to be like this
# User deciding if she/he is happy with her/his decision
while True:
decision = input("\nYou chose "+". Are you happy with your decision? ").lower()
if decision == 'yes':
additional = input("Great! Would you like to order anything else? ").lower()
if additional == "yes":
what = input("What else would you like to order (menu, drink or both)? ").lower()
if what == "menu":
print("I understand. The program will return you to the menus.")
elif what == "drink":
print("I understand. The program will return you to the drinks.")
elif what == "both":
print("I understand. The program will return you back to the menus (no orders until now will be lost).")
break
elif additional == "no":
print("Awesome! The program will now summ up your price. Please wait a moment...")
time.sleep(2)
break
elif decision == "no":
continue

How do you call on an attribute of a class, as if its a variable (in python)?

Im new to coding, and pretty confused by the concept of class 's and how to use them. Im making a zork game as a practice exercise and have the following as part of my code:
def buildCharacter():
return(Hero(input("What is your name, traveler? \n> ")))
class Hero(object): #creates class Hero, Hero has-a name and has-a health
def __init__(self, name, health=10):
self.name = name
self.health = health
Later in the code, if the player gets 'hurt' I want to be able to reduce health, until its 0 and they 'die'.
I tried doing:
self.health -= 5
if self.health <=0:
exit(0)
but that doesn't work, saying 'self' not defined. How do I call on self.health to change it?
Edit: Ive been told that the whole code should be posted, so here it is:
from sys import exit

have_sword = False
gate_unlocked = False
class Hero(object): #creates class Hero, Hero has-a name and has-a health

start()

Define a method in your class named hurt and a getter for health, like this :
class Hero(object): #creates class Hero, Hero has-a name and has-a health
def __init__(self, name, health=10):
self.name = name
self.health = health
def hurt(self,damage):
self.health-= damage
def get_health(self):
return self.health
Then later in the code you can call these methods like this :
hero = Hero("mohsen")
hero.hurt(5)
if hero.get_health()<=0:
exit(0)

I believe this example gets at the question you asked.
class Hero:
def __init__(self):
self.health = 100
Jon = Hero()
Jon.health -= 20
print(Jon.health)
The print statement outputs: 80

What you tried would work in another method within your class Hero:
class Hero(object):
def __init__(self, name, health=10):
self.name = name
self.health = health
self.alive = True
def take_damage(self):
self.health -= 5
if self.health <= 0:
self.alive = False
def is_alive(self):
return self.alive == True
If you are trying to reduce the health of an object of type Hero, you need to do it via the object reference like this:
my_hero = Hero()
my_hero.take_damage()
print(my_hero.is_alive())
Or you can access self.health directly (but better to do it via a method like I showed above):
my_hero = Hero()
my_hero.health -= 5

Python Game not going where I want it to go

I have finished my text game in python. But, the only problem I have is that when I type in where to go it doesn't go to that place. It goes to the place under the start not what the user inputted in... I don't see any problems with my if and elif statements but don't know where the problem is... In fact i re-did all the elif and if statements but still have the same problem...

You are converting the inputted text .lower() and you compare against text that has uppercase in it - this wont work. Fix like this:
if way_picked.lower() == "shop 1":
shop1()
elif way_picked.lower() == "field":
field()
elif way_picked.lower() == "shop":
shop()
elif way_picked.lower() == "house":
house()
elif way_picked.lower() == "farm":
farm()
elif way_picked.lower() == "dead end":
deadend()
elif way_picked.lower() == "field 1":
field1()
where ever you compare. You might also want to use a .strip() to ensure leading/trainling whitespaces are removed as well before comparing them.
Also: please read: How to debug small programs (#1) to get tips how to debug your own programms in a way to find your own errors faster then posting on SO.
One solution would be to make a small function that compares for you:
def comp(textIn, myOption):
"""Returns True if textIn.strip().lower() equals myOption.strip().lower()"""
return textIn.strip().lower() == myOption.strip().lower()
# The starting point of the game.
def start():
print(" You are at the start of the game MILK ")
print("Now you will have to use the map to navigate around the farm to find the almighty, godly, delicious MILK!!!!")
way_picked = input("Do you want to go to the Shop 1, Field , Shop , House , Farm , Dead end, Shop 1, Field 1 ???? > ")
# This is where the user picks where they want to go within the game.
if comp(way_picked,"Shop 1"):
shop1()
elif comp(way_picked,"Field"):
field()
elif comp(way_picked, "Shop"):
shop()
# etcerea ....
The function comp(userInput,"option") will take care of stripping & lowering and comparing and simply return True/False
Edit: other way to deal with this: create dictionary that holds a key (the user input) and the function to call (as value):
def func1():
print("F1")
def func2():
print("F2")
def func3():
print("F3")
def func4():
print("F4")
# function are first class citizens in python, you can store them as
# value (without parentheses) to be called later
options = { "f1" : func1, "f2" : func2, "f3" : func3, "f4" : func4}
while True:
userInput = input("F1 to F4:\n\t").strip().lower() # make input trimmed and lower
if userInput in options:
options[userInput] () # execute the stored function (use value + () to execute)
else:
print("\nWrong input!\n")

Skipping iteration if condition not met

Currently messing around with a fantasy football program, The user is asked to first input 10 player names which are added to a list, then input values for each individual player for different variables like goals scored, goal assists etc. The first question is "did they play the match?"
If the answer is no then I am trying to skip the following questions and jump to the next player, I have been trying to use continue but it just loops and continues asking the first question to the first player.
playerList=[]
def Playeradd():
playerList.append(item)
def Playercreate():
global item
item = raw_input("Enter Player name: ")
Playeradd()
[Playercreate()for _ in range (5)]
print
print "You have selected", len(playerList), "players for your squad, Your selected squad is.."
#print playerList
for item in playerList:
print item
player =Playercreate
scorecheck=[]
x=0
totalscore=0
def pointsaward():
global scorecheck, totalscore
y=1
player=y
x=0
while x < 5:
print
print "Please enter score for ", playerList[x]
print
play = raw_input(" Did he play the match (yes or no?) ")
if play == "yes":
play1=2
else:
play1=0
goalS= int(raw_input(" Did he score, if so how many?"))
goalS=goalS*5
goalA= int(raw_input(" How many assists?"))
goalA=goalA*3
motm= raw_input(" Did he win man of the match (yes or no?) ")
if motm == "yes":
motm1=5
else:
motm1=0
yelC=raw_input(" Did he recieve a yellow card (yes or no?) ")
if yelC == "yes":
yelC1= -1
else:
yelC1=0
redC=raw_input(" Did he recieve a red card (yes or no?) ")
if redC == "yes":
redC1= -5
else:
redC1=0
PenM=raw_input(" Did he miss a peno(yes or no?) ")
if PenM == "yes":
PenM1= -3
else:
PenM1=0
playerpoint1= play1+goalS+goalA+yelC1+redC1+PenM1
PlayerandScore= [playerList[x],playerpoint1,]
scorecheck.append(PlayerandScore)
totalscore+= playerpoint1
# print "This player has scored a total of ", PlayerandScore, " this week "
x+= 1
y+= 1
print "This player has scored a total of ", PlayerandScore, " this week "
print
pointsaward()
Sorry if it was unclear,So for Player 1 If the answer to the first question is no then there is no need to ask the following questions about the player as he would not have played. So I want it to skip the following questions and start asking the input for Player 2 in the list.

I think you should put the question inside a function. This will allow you to call the function when ever you want.
and make it easier to decide when to ask the question.
Because you have raw_input I am assuming you are using python 2.X
you can add python2 or python3 to your tags to get better help from people know more about each version of python.
list_of_players = ["player 1","player 2","player 3"]
def check_player(yes_no):

goalS= int(raw_input(" Did he score, if so how many?"))

return "no"
print "player did not play"
# this for statement will ask about each player in the list of players.
for player in list_of_players:
print "Did "+player+" play in the game?"
print check_player(raw_input("yes or no --->"))
here is an image of the console if you run my code.
EDIT: Ok here is your code fixed up to check each new player after you enter their info or say "no".
playerList=[]
def Playeradd():
playerList.append(item)

item = raw_input("Enter Player name: ")

print "Please enter score for ", playerList[x]

print "Did "+player+" play in the game?"

if play == "yes":
play1=2
goalS= int(raw_input(" Did he score, if so how many?"))
goalS=goalS*5
goalA= int(raw_input(" How many assists?"))
goalA=goalA*3
motm= raw_input(" Did he win man of the match (yes or no?) ")
if motm == "yes":
motm1=5
else:
motm1=0
yelC=raw_input(" Did he recieve a yellow card (yes or no?) ")
if yelC == "yes":
yelC1= -1
else:
yelC1=0
redC=raw_input(" Did he recieve a red card (yes or no?) ")
if redC == "yes":
redC1= -5
else:
redC1=0
PenM=raw_input(" Did he miss a peno(yes or no?) ")
if PenM == "yes":
PenM1= -3
else:
PenM1=0
else:
play1=0
print player+" did not play"
playerpoint1= play1+goalS+goalA+yelC1+redC1+PenM1
PlayerandScore= [playerList[x],playerpoint1,]
scorecheck.append(PlayerandScore)
totalscore+= playerpoint1
x+= 1
y+= 1
print "This player has scored a total of ", PlayerandScore, " this week "
pointsaward()

As far as I can tell from your question you just need to continue as normal, naturally ending the if statement
play = input(" Did he play the match (yes or no?) ")
if play == "yes":
play1=2
else:
play1=0
print("Continue Here")
