I'm creating a room exploration game with Python but am having issues with item collection and the win condition being met (collecting all items to 'win' and losing if not all items are collected). Room movement, help and quitting function but I'm confused where to begin with items. I created an elif for 'get' to collect items but it didn't work. If I could get help with getting items from my dictionary would help a lot. Thank you.

In testing out your code it appeared where you were getting stuck was with the "getting" of items within a room. With that, I focused on tweaking the "get_item" function. Following is a copy of your code with some tweaks to the dictionary so that one could move about rooms a little easier and a refined "get_item" function.
rooms = {'Start room': {'name': 'Start room', 'west': 'West room', 'east': 'East room', 'north': 'Hallway',

item_list = ['chips', 'soda', 'stick', 'cookie', 'crown', 'cape'] # Added this for a simplified check of what items have been acquired
def get_item(item_wants, current_room, inventory): # Enhanced this function.

item_can_get = rooms[current_room]['item']

print(f'There is no {item_wants} in this room')

I need to add a function that displays the current possible moves. I am at a loss on how to do this. I also have a problem with a print statement occurring when I don't want it to. If I enter the "get item" input, it prints the "You can't do that." statement. That statement should only be for invalid commands. I am very new to Python and don't really understand much of what I am doing. Please help.

I've never posted on here so I'll do my best to format everything correctly. I am writing a text-based Python game for school that involves collecting items and a villain. The villain is designed to end the game if encountered. I wanted to randomize the villain's location between a 'window' and 'front door' option, making the end random chance if you win or lose. (see FIXME) Secondly, I was having trouble separating the text that displays when you enter a room and the text regarding collectibles. I was trying to make it so that once an item is collected the collectible text no longer displays as that item is no longer in the room after it is collected. I was having a lot of trouble with this under the comment #look around. Thank you in advance for the help :P

I am making a text-based game, and when I tried to debug it, my game loop was not executing. It just continues to allow me to move threw rooms when I wanted it to lead to a game over or to the end of the game. I'm unsure what I did wrong and was hoping someone could explain and help me fix it. Thank you!

Now that you included the entry of your commands, I gave the program a try. The program failed on one occasion when an improper directional command was entered. After testing it out, I made some minor corrections to allow the program to function in the spirit of the game.

I did a little rearranging of the code so that all of the data initialization appeared first, added in a call to the "status()" function in the "while" loop, moved the test for quitting before the directional and acquisition tests, and corrected the command check that was failing. Also, I don't know if the game is supposed to allow for acquiring multiple quantities of any item (e.g. having 4 shields), so I added in a test for that. If multiple quantities are allowed, you can remove that extra test.
Anyway, with that, I was able to save the princess. Give that a try.
Doing a project for a class where I have to make a text based game, and I am getting a KeyError upon running my code.
These are the 2 parts of my code where it says the error is stemming from

Here is my full code, I have been looking and just can't seem to find the solution. If anyone can see what I am missing, I would really appreciate it.

Some of your rooms don't have items in them, for example
rooms['Outside'] = {'South': 'Main Hall'}
so attempting to access rooms['Outside']['Item'] will fail. You should perhaps use:
def get_item(state):
return rooms[state].get('Item', None)
This will return None if there are no items in the room. In your main code you can then check for that:
item = get_item(state)
if item is not None:
print('You see a ', item)
I have a text-based game using python. My issue is that I can't move between rooms due to a variable not getting changed like it needs to.
I've used global and that results in another error. The code is as follows:

if direction == 'Exit':
print("Thanks for playing!")
exit(0)
elif direction in rooms[current_room]:
current_room = rooms[current_room][direction]
else:
print("Invalid Move. There's no room to the {}".format(direction))
Second problem: you are constantly resetting the current_room = starting_room each time through the main function, and not maintaining your state correctly.
The fix for that seems to be removing that line and just prompting for the direction input, and letting the flow pass to the elif block.
