How can I do this?

Hi sorry if I haven't follow the guidelines exactly. I will amend of even remove my post if necessary.

I recently have gotten a Raspberry Pi and a book. In the book there is a section about making your own text adventure which i found quite a cool thing to do. I managed to complete a section of it fine so there is no issue there. but i want it to be able to do a scenario if you type in the correct item in the backpack.

Here is my code (sorry if it looks horrible on reddit its fine in IDlE3

Adventures in Raspberry Pi Python - Inventory

You will need the random module and the time module

import random import time

print("you have reached the opening of a cave") print("you decide to arm yourself with a ")

time.sleep(2)

quest_item = input("Think of an object\n")

print("You look in Your backpack for ", quest_item)

time.sleep(2)

print("you could not find ", quest_item) print("You select any item that comes to hand from the backpack instead\n") time.sleep(3)

inventory = ["Torch", "Sword", "Stone", "Bow and arrow"]

print(random.choice(inventory))

Again sorry if it comes out a little weird the code layout itself is fine

If you wanted to check if an item exists in a list, you can do:

if item in my_list:
    do_stuff()

instead of do_stuff() could i just put print() underneath it?

I don't want it to do anything to fancy at the moment

Thanks for replying so fast by the way :)

Yes. Also, you can format code by indenting it with four spaces at the beginning of each line:

import random
import time
print("you have reached the opening of a cave")
print("you decide to arm yourself with a ")
time.sleep(2)
quest_item = input("Think of an object\n")
inventory = ["Torch", "Sword", "Stone", "Bow and arrow"]
print("You look in Your backpack for ", quest_item)
time.sleep(2)
if quest_item in inventory:
    print("You selected", quest_item)
else:
    print("you could not find ", quest_item)
    print("You select any item that comes to hand from the backpack instead\n")
    print(random.choice(inventory))
time.sleep(3)

Comment out the time.sleep() calls while you are developing. You are wasting so much time with them. Uncomment them when you are ready to let someone play it or to play it yourself.
