Python Simple Text Adventure

[eugeniomyles]

Python is beautiful -- simple and powerful in it's simplicity.
Great video!

for t in transitions means examine all the transitions in turn, letting t be a variable used to access each transition.

I run on a Mac, but this program should work most anywhere Python works.

Thank you for brief explanations and great beginners tutorial.

Sukvin, have you seen the newer version of this program? Python Simple Text Adventure 3
If I return to this series I’ll sure consider doing what you’re asking about, but for right now I can’t think of a simple way to help. Perhaps someone else will have some ideas.

[DaveBriccetti]

This version of the code is for Python 2. You can tell because you see print in this form:
print x
instead of print(x)

[DaveBriccetti]

Thanks. You’re seeing NetBeans. It’s had good Python support for a few years now.

Hmm maybe you should have a string with current room name, and:
if c_room == 'wanted room name':
do something

Hope this helped :)

Excellent tutorial. So simple yet so elegant. Thanks. May I know what editor are you using?

[DaveBriccetti]

Eclipse has the Pydev plugin for Python development, so yes, you sure can.

In my script it's enumerating every single letter of the description, i checked the code and i have no idea why.

[DaveBriccetti]

Hi. Thanks. Well, there’s always IDLE, but it is pretty basic. I am using NetBeans lately with my students.

[DaveBriccetti]

And, if you’re running in Python 3, please change all
print x
to
print(x)

[bmanning]

ah yes I have figured out how to tell.
Thank you for response and for the vids!

Hi, great tutorial!
What Python IDE do you recommend for a beginner?

[DaveBriccetti]

It sounds like you are iterating over a string (which is a sequence), rather than a sequence of strings.

I am making a text adventure using this method. Everything works but I want to end the game when I find a certain room. How would I do that????

[DaveBriccetti]

Folks, if you are having trouble with changes you made, please send a link to your complete module.

[DaveBriccetti]

Hi. If you see “print('something')” vs. “print something” in my code, then it’s likely version 3.

[TheMrSkelington]

could I ask what IDE you are using here?

[TheQuantumCupcake]

Hello, I'm confused and you can very possibly help me. I would like one of my locations to have more than one word (look out window) but it comes up with an invalid syntax error... or something. Can you help?
