How to add a function get_new_state that takes in (direction_from_user, current_room)?

Here is the code I have so far. I am working on a project for school making a texted based game. I am able to input my choices in the game, but I run into an issue when entering the room with the Villain and the game not registering it. I can move from room to room and collect items but it doesn't end the game when I enter the room with the Villain without collecting all the items. please help :)

text based python game with functions, function patameters and global variables

I am making a text-based python game for school. They want parameters in the move_room function but that makes it loop the same room. So I tried making current_room = move_rooms(move, current_room, inventory) but if I pick up an item, the program thinks that item is the room. Can someone give me some help with this please?

I'm trying to allow the user to ignore the case for my text-based game in Python for a class

I know about .lower() and .upper() but no matter what they don't seem to work and they just cause my directions to not work at all. Any help would be appreciated as this is for a project due Sunday and I'm really stuck. All of my code is as follows:

Main()

I have no idea if this is your problem or not, but when you call lower, make sure it's on the string read as input, and not on the array created by calling .split().
command = input('What would you like to do?\n').lower().split()
might be what you're looking for.

The directions in the directions list are in title case (eg "North"), so neither .upper (which would yield eg "NORTH") nor .lower (which would yield eg "north") make them equal.
command[1].title() will format the input in the same way as the directions in the list. Alternatively, you could store the directions in all-lowercase or all-uppercase and use command[1].lower() or command[1].upper().

New to Python and not getting how to pull the 'Item' (key,value) from the rooms dict into my code

I need help defining a function that will allow me to access a dictionary key for each room that I enter for a text-based game that I am developing. I have tried doing this in different ways, but am confused about how to make this work.
I have tried creating a global variable that I could use dict.get(), which isn't working, I have tried to create a local variable that would pull the value of the key,value pairs and unfortunately I am just not familiar enough with dictionaries to make this work I guess.
I am not sure how to make this work and I am, quite frankly, getting discouraged.
I am trying to get the player to go from room to room, see an item, and then get it appended to their inventory. This is the part that keeps giving me issues. It says that the variable item is not defined.
# Function to show instructions and welcome the player to the game.

exit(0)

You have a nested dictionary, so you first need to index by the room, then you can get the item
print(rooms[location]['Item'])
In fact you already do this in your get_room_item function, so you can just use that
def get_room_item(rooms, location):
return rooms[location]['Item']
If you just want to check that a room has an 'Item' at all then just
if 'Item' in rooms[location]:

Having trouble setting up inventory

I'm working on a text-based game where the player had to find 6 items in different rooms before running into the boss or they die. I have the items set in the dict with the rooms but I don't know how to pull from it as the player moves around. What I have currently have has the player able to add things to the inventory but then it's stuck in a permanent loop. I am very new at this and I am having trouble connecting things together. Here is the whole thing with comments.
rooms = {
'Entry Way': { 'North': 'Stalagmite Cavern'},
'Stalagmite Cavern': {'North': 'Grand Cavern', 'South': 'Entry Way', 'item': 'torch'},

A nice start from you, Here is some modification as a small push to inspire your thoughts, and you can complete yourself or change according to the scenario you prefer- but discover the changes your self :) I have tested this code:

if 'item' in rooms[current_room]:
game(rooms[current_room]['item'])

print('-----------------------------')
# user to exit

Good Luck

If each room only has one item, I think that the following line in the game() function should be removed
while True:
since that will cause an infinite loop with the first three printouts being "You got..." and "... added to inventory ..." and "[contents of inventory]" but the next printouts will be "you have already got this" and "[contents of inventory]" over and over again.
