Runescape Mining Calculator written in Python

For my Intro. to Computer Sciences class, we had to write a program that we/others would use for our midterm project. Being into Runescape, I decided to write a Mining Calculator from scratch. Its still very basic, and roughly coded in my opinion but it works. I think I will write a calculator for all the other skills and then try and work on a GUI version of them later down the road. Heres the code for the program:

def main():

   print "This program allows the user to enter his current experience,"

   print "desired level, and the ore he will be mining to calculate how"

   print "many ores he would have to mine to reach that desired level."

   print



   # This is a python dictonary used for storing the

   # levels and the corresponding experience points

main()

NOTE: the last print statement appears to be on 2 lines but in the editor its actually written on two. Also the dictionaries look a little weird in the format of the post :(

Feel free to make any suggestions on how to make it work more efficiently. You can reach me on here or my email ([email protected]).
