Discussions on Shot or Not?

There's seems to be problem in that I keep get an error message (seems to be related to mis-guessed selections).

Yeah, the problem is related to getting more than one cause back from the following query:

 mjt.freebase.MqlRead({

I belive I just need to expand the cause_of_death request so that there is a limit of one cause returned.

just use [ ] instead of null and that val will be a list that you can iterate through in your python code.  nice idea!

 mjt.freebase.MqlRead({

This is actually done in MJT. From the documentation I thought that doing what you suggest and then using syntax like

'$q.result.cause_of_death[0].cause_of_death'

would work. Because if I just ask for cause of death: [] and then use  $q.result.cause_of_death when there are multiple entries,it will return something like "SkiingSkiiningAccident" for Sonny Bono.

got it, I suppose the first one on the list is good enough. But, you know, what if the person in question was shot *while* skiiing into a tree? :)

That's for the coroner to decide, I believe.

But actually, you have a point. Is AIDS a cause of death? Is murder a cause of death? It's a bit of a pandora's box.

Anyways, the two games are up. Very modest in scope, but they were useful for learning the basics of MJT.

I'm working on a new one now that is somewhat more complex, so I'll throw that up when it's ready.
