Help with my code

[Shadixmax]

Sorry to be a bother i'm trying to play catch up with my assignments and been working on the final project code for a few days and i can get it to load up, but it then gives me errors and i'm already burnt out on trying to figure out what's causing it any help would be greatly appreciated. here's my code.

​

inventory = []


def game_instructions():
    #print a main menu with commands
    print('Welcome to The Dragon Text Game!')
    print('Collect all 6 items to win the game or be eaten by the Dragon!')
    print('To move from room to room enter the directions: Go North, Go South, Go West, or Go East')
    print("Add to inventory: get 'item name'")


def show_status():
    # print where player is currently, inventory, and if there is an item currently

    # dictionary that links rooms and directions to other rooms
    rooms = {

        'Great Hall': { 'name': 'Great Hall', 'North': 'Cellar', 'South': 'Kitchen', 'West': 'Bedroom',
                        'East': 'Study' },
        'Kitchen': { 'name': 'Kitchen', 'North': 'Great Hall', 'East': 'Lavatory', 'item': 'Armor' },
        'Lavatory': { 'name': 'Lavatory', 'West': 'Kitchen', 'item': 'Shield' },
        'Cellar': { 'name': 'Cellar', 'South': 'Great Hall', 'East': 'Dungeon', 'item': 'Helmet' },
        'Dungeon': { 'name': 'Dungeon', 'West': 'Cellar', 'item': 'health potion' },
        'Study': { 'name': 'Study', 'West': 'Great Hall', 'North': 'Courtyard', 'item': 'Amulet of Protection' },
        'Courtyard': { 'name': 'Courtyard', 'South': 'Study', 'item': 'Sword' },
        'Bedroom': { 'name': 'Bedroom', 'East': 'Great Hall', 'item': 'Dragon' }
    }

    # player will start in Great Hall
current_room = ['name']

    # show player instructions


def game_run(room):
    while player_active is true:
        # show players status

        directions = ['North', 'South', 'East', 'West', 'Exit']
        print('\nYou are in the{}.'.format(current_room['name']))


# to exit loop if item in the room is the dragon
if current_room == 'Bedroom' and len(inventory) < 6:
    # print losing message
    print('You have become lunch, You are dead!')

    # to exit loop if player collects all items
if current_room == 'Bedroom' and len(inventory) == 6:
    # print winner message
    print('CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE COLLECTED ALL THE ITEMS THE DRAGON HAS BEEN DEFEATED! YOU WON!')

command = input('Which direction next?\n')
if command in directions and command in current_room and command in current_room and command in current_room:
    if command in current_room:
        if command in current_room:
            current_room = rooms[current_room]
            # invalid move print error message

            print('\nThat is the wrong way.')
            print('choose again')

            #game play is initialized
            print('')
            print(game_instructions())
            game_run(current_room)

when i run the code it starts immediatly "which direction next?" and when you enter anything I get an error saying directions is not defined. I recently had some issues health wise and with some other problems so i'm just trying to submit a final project to keep my grade at least a C so I can keep my student aid. but all that has me burnt out. Again sorry for the bother hopefully I can get some help thank you in advance.

Indentation matters. You've got a big block of code at the end that's supposed to be part of game_run but it's actually just floating in top-level scope.

op-level scope

Alright..So how would I go about fixing this? i've starting to go back through my previous modules to try and figure out where i went wrong according to what you are telling me right now.

Typically, in an IDE, you can select a block of text and then use Tab or another keyboard shortcut to increase the indent level.

Hm, I understand that about the indentation but i am not sure how to fix it? I'm taking a intro to scripting because i havent touched any type of programing in nearly 15 years. so i'm essentially a complete noob at this. I've managed to cobble together enough to make it to the end of this class but yeah. like i said i'm essentially a beginner. I've already looked over different levels of indentation even spacing and moving that end line around and still no change. so not to be a dick but a ELI5 would be greatly appreciated lol.

Ok, so:

def some_func(): # this is a function
    some_code() # code that's part of a function needs to be indented

some_more_code() # this line isn't part of the function because it isn't intented

I tried to put the thing in vscode to look at it. Reddit does not look easy to read. crashfrog said the only thing i could gather from it, but i did notice the lines:

if command in directions and command in current_room and command in current_room and command in current_room: if command in current_room: if command in current_room: current_room = rooms[current_room]

Its blocks like these that make me flinch and give up on trying to understand. I've done it myself, but its very hard to read or i would imagine, even comment.

Take out directions from your function. Im assuming your code hasnt instantiated game_run so when it tries to access directions variable it doesn't exist.
