IT 140 project 2

I have been working on my video game for my class project and we are using dictionaries in order to create a videogame story board. My current code allows me to move rooms just fine but the only item it is adding is the word 'item' into the inventory. I am still in the preliminary steps and I am more curious than stuck on why the coding is acting this way.

1 A Stack Overflow question should be about the specific technical problem that prevents you from completing your project successfully, not about the project itself. See How do I ask and answer homework questions? . Code that's unrelated to the problem (like printing instructions) should be refactored out before asking a question, as per minimal reproducible example guidelines. – Charles Duffy Commented Apr 15, 2022 at 16:16
1 What is your question? What happens when you run the code, and what did you expect to happen instead? Any errors? – Robert Commented Apr 15, 2022 at 16:17
2 Your minimal reproducible example should also contain the minimal inputs necessary to reproduce the error or problem. I would assume it's because you are appending the command to your list, not the value tied to the item key, but we can't know that without knowing what you are entering – G. Anderson Commented Apr 15, 2022 at 16:19
1 Look at your code. You are adding command to the inventory_items , and the command is always going to be item . – Tim Roberts Commented Aug 13, 2023 at 2:10

if command in rooms[current_room]: will only allow you to enter one of the keys of the dictionary for the current room. Since the item names are in the value of the item key, not the key itself, you can't enter an item name there.

You could split this into two commands -- first the user enters something like take , then you prompt for the name of the item and check that it's in the item element.

I think one way to handle this would be to define a function for retrieving an item, as so, and rather than using

This well remove the corresponding item after retrieval.

Also for prompting for input, and input validation, you could try this(just capitalize all Key-Value pairs in your dictionary):

The title method of course returns a copy of the string in which the first letters are capitalized, and .split() arranges the input entry as a List[] of strings. You could handle movement in a manner such as "go east", or whichever direction. And for retrieving an item using "get" item:

Hope this helps!
