But this is definitely not the best way to implement this either. > desc = "Ahead of you, you see a warty green ogre." > ques = "Do you wish to eat it?

The way I'd do it is to create a Room object with a bunch of different methods, such as room.print(), room.printDescription(), room.makeChoice(), and such, and then the rooms would be connected together using data members. It would be a lot more elegant and less confusing that way. > > # Engine > # ask current question and move to next room > print desc > ans = raw_input(ques).upper() # allow for lower case input > if ans == "Y": > room = destYes > elif ans == "N": > room = destNo > elif ans == "north": > room = destN > elif ans == "south": > room = destS > elif ans == "east": > room = destE > elif ans == "west": > room = destW > elif ans == "Q": # give us a way out. > Break > else: > print "I don't understand. Can you give a clearer answer?" You prompted the user, then retrieved the next room value. Now we're here, and there's no code left. So it stops here. > but for some reason, it's not letting me go into > Room 2 (the ogre). Is it clearer why this isn't working now? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
