# The lines beginning with # are comments. Computers will pass
# through them, but they are my notes. As a demon, part of my job is
# tricking people. To make my life and work easier, I made this code.
# My design is simple. The framework is based on the seven sins. The
# first step is to figure out what kind of sins the target has, then call
# specific functions to focus in on that sin.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# Import the functions that already exist but in other files here. Use the
# beginning "import" to call the function.import random
# Call the random function that already exists. It will be helpful for me
# to select my target.from hellPossibility import possibilityToGoToHell
# This is my code that detects whether a person may # end up in Hell or
# not. It returns a number between 0 and 1. One means they will come
# to Hell for sure.from demonSkill import whisper
# This function can whisper my voice into people's minds.
from demonSkill import character
# This function to create a list for a person's characteristics.
from demonSkill import valueUp
# This function makes a topic more valuable and popular.
from addedCode import detectSins
# Ugh! Why did I do this to myself? Didn't have to waste effort on
# unnecessary specificity. But I made this function to analyze people's
# sins. This function returns a list of percentage breakdown of the
# target's 7 sins. I normalized them so that the sum of all numbers is 1.
# A larger number means the sin is more common for this person.def pride(Target):
# It is the function to target prideful people. "Target" is the
# person's information that serves as input for the function. When
# will people show their pride? When people feel challenged,
# and their positions are in danger. Hehehehe.GDPGrows = 0.5%
CPIrate = 8%
# I need to set up the economic situation to be terrible. When
# resources are abundant and people feel comfortable in their life,
# they are more likely to be happy and satisfied. People are more
# willing to share and help others. In a hard time, students will be
# more challenged to get into their ideal school, employees will be
# more likely to lose their jobs.targetPerson = Target
