[Tutor] Flat is better than Nested

[Ryan Strunk]

Hello everyone,
I am still learning to program by writing this boxing game. I'm running into
a problem with how to organize data. My current setup looks something like
this:
"""This feels incredibly disgusting to me."""
self.behaviors = {
	'offensive_combos': {
		'combo1': {
			1: { #time in seconds
				'punch': {
					'speed': 2,
					'strength': 4,
					'side': 'left'}
				}
			1.5: { #time in seconds
				'punch': {
					'speed': 4,
					'strength': 8,
					'side': 'right'}
				}
			}
		}
	}
By the time I write this all into a file, the end user will never even know
this crazy hierarchy exists, but I will, and I don't like it. Do I just need
to get over it and realize that sometimes nested is necessary, or is there a
better way I might consider?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Best,
Ryan
