Hello all,
I hope I am posting this correctly. I am running Python 2.4.2 on
Slackware 11.0 using IDLE. I am in the process of learning python so I
am writing a text adventure game using functions and global variables
only. I know there is a better way to do this but that is for later.
When I run the python program it works fine until I try to go west
from my inital start room. I get the room description but no raw_input
prompt. I just get dumped back to >>> in the python shell. I think I
am missing something simple. I pasted in the code below. I am using
gmail so I hope the formatting stays. If not I can send the .py as an
attachment if needed. Thanks.
Ara
