Text Based Dungeon Game in Python | Coding Tutorial

I walk you through making your own text-based game in Python.
This is a simple project using a dictionary and a few loops.

This project is similar to the SNHU IT-140 project. Do not copy my work as it will be detected by TurnItIn and you will get a zero.

this guy that me in a minute more than other tutorials did in 10 min. great job

10:49 Ironically, for a blind person using a screen reading program, if there are no images, it is better. That's why I like games such as Colossal Cave Adventure, because they are text-only games! Anyway, great video!

By the way, I use VS Code too, especially because they are putting accessibility features like sound warnings if there is something wrong with the code and a screen reader is detected!

Literally saved my life! My game works! *crying in happy tears*

[Tghouston]

Thank you so much! I had a lot of my code written, but there were some parts I had to add to it that i had no idea how to. Your guidance really helped me out!

[bobibibobibjhhlk]

You have helped me so much, I’ve been struggling to understand the proper syntax’s the first YouTube video I’ve seen to be helpful with coding, now I finally know the use for flowcharts lol

[beniaminocogoi]

Defo one of the best tutorials ever. I think you have a gift in explaining briefly and clearly. Looking forward to the next video.

Nice! A directed graph is a good first step! The edges could represent lockable doors with traps... whose state depends on the user submitting the correct Command objects in the right sequence, or even randomly.

Thank You Thank You Thank You. This is a great video tutorial that actually explains the process of programming this type of game. The other videos I have watched were so confusing. I am not a computer person but am required to take this python course for my degree. This course has been very difficult for me and have had to look up most of the answers. This video is going to help guide me while programming my own version of this game. Again, Thank You.

Awesome, I have a final project with a game so definitely taking your video as a base! Great explanation. Thanks so much

[tinkachu]

Noice, this is literally what I have to make for my Python class and I was stumped lol.

[JoshCeschiniPB]

Thanks man. Super Informative video. Helped me a ton

[beksbad]

Thank you so much! This video helped me a lot!

walkthrough, bro this was a sprint lmao. I had to regularly pause, and I was just using this as a guide to make sure I didn't miss anything after typing my code out. I've never seen anyone type as fast as you lmao.

Just a "quality of life" improvement here: If you make items that have more than 1 word i.e. "Fire Sword", then the user_action variable should also utilize .title() so that users don't have to manually match the case of the item when entering the "Get" action. Took me a while to figure out the bug, but this was the answer.

[Pintobean-vxez]

Hey man you really helped me with my project, thanks! Also can I ask where else did you learn python or coding in general? you seem pretty advanced and comfortable with the language

[chrisrivers]

The movement is tripping me up. I type in Go and a direction, and it says you can't go that way. The program says the exception clause is too broad.

[chrisracer]

Tried to add a list of items so players have a choice of what they take but now the items can’t be found, and they can’t leave the first room.

[ruthlessadmin]

What I like about this, is you didn't use any classes. I was guilty for a long time before I learned C, which is a paradigm shifter on many levels. Now I find it so frustrating to see people over use & abuse them in object oriented languages. They should be avoided at all costs, unless you're overriding someone else's bad design or modifying functionality of a built-in object.

bro that s alot im new and i wanted to make a dungen crawler for my brother

[usarmyvetid]

This video is absolutely fantastic. The code works incredibly well, but at 8:55 I keep getting PEP8 violations for the bare excepts in the try blocks and I’m stuck.
Is anyone else seeing this?
