okay, I'm having this one problem with a text adventure game. It's kind of hard to explain, but I'll do my best. [code]
def prompt_kitchen(): global gold gold_taken = False while True: prompt_kit = raw_input('>') if prompt_kit == 'examine cabinet 1' and not gold_taken: print '''This cabinet has a lot of cups in it with all different designs and shapes. Where are the people anyway? How come there's nobody here? In one of the cups you find 8 gold.''' gold = gold+8 gold_taken = True pass4() elif prompt_kit == 'examine cabinet 1' and gold_taken: print \ '''This cabinet has a lot of cups in it with all different designs and shapes. Where are the people anyway? How come there's nobody here?''' pass4() def pass4(): global gold print 'You have', gold, 'gold' pass [/code] Okay, now for my problem. In the above function, there's the option to examine a cabinet and get 8 gold. (everyone here knows that...but I'm just trying to state my problem...) Unfortunately, it kind of doesn't work. After the first time I 'examine cabinet 1' in my game, I get 8 gold and I can't get it again. But, If I leave the room and come back to it, then it's as if I had never gotten the gold the first time, and I can get it again. How do I fix this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
