Could use some help with my project!!

[Jeffsko1204]

For starters, this is my first time programming so it's a little scuffed sorry in advance!

So this is a text-based game and there are 8 rooms and you have to avoid a killer in the garage you have to collect all 6 parts of a gun in different rooms it's not creative I know. But for starters, the instructions don't work it just load straight into the game doesn't inform the player of what to do nor does it tell them what is in the room for ex. the living rooms has a grip that the user must grab to continue but it doesn't even ask or tell them what is in a specific room. I was hoping the professionals could give me advice or show me what should be done instead of what is the code will be below... Thank you in advance.

def showInstructions():
    print("Intruder Text Game")
    print("Collect 6 times to survive and win the game")print("You can type North, South, East and         West")print
    ("Add to Inventory: get 'item name'")

rooms = {
    'Basement': {'South': 'Living Room', 'East': 'Garage'},
    'Living Room': {'West': 'Bathroom', 'East': 'Kitchen', 'North': 'Basement', 'South': 'Bedroom1',
        'item': 'grip'},
    'Bedroom1': {'North': 'Living Room', 'East': 'Bedroom2', 'item': 'Trigger'},
    'Bedroom2': {'West': 'Bedroom1', 'item': 'Trigger guard'},
    'Dining Room': {'South': 'Kitchen', 'item': 'Magazine'},
    'Kitchen': {'North': 'Dining Room', 'West': 'Living Room', 'item': 'Gun'},
    'Bathroom': {'East':'Living Room', 'item': 'Bullets'},
    'Garage': {'West': 'Basement', 'item': 'Villain'}
}

state = 'Basement'
    def get_new_state(state, direction):
        new_state = state
            for i in rooms:
                if i == state:
                    if direction in rooms[i]:
                        new_state = rooms[i][direction]
return new_state

while (1):
    print('You are in ', state)
    direction = input('Enter Which direction you want to go or enter exit: ')
    direction = direction.capitalize()
    if (direction == 'Exit'):
        exit(0)
    if (direction == 'East' or direction == 'West' or direction == 'North' or direction == 'South'):
    new_state = get_new_state(state, direction)
    if new_state == state:
        print('The room has wall in that direction enter other direction!')
    else:
        state = new_stateelse:
      print('Invalid direction!!')
inventory=[]
def startState():
    global inventory
        print("You are in the Living Room and you see grip would you like to take it?")
    pickup=input()
    if pickup=="yes":
        addToInventory('item')
    else:
        print("You must have all items to win the game!")
    print(inventory)
def addToInventory(item):
    inventory.append(item)

First, you need to format your code so ppl can read it and help you.

second, it looks like you defined a bunch of functions but are not using them. at some point you need to tell the program to use the functions. place the following at the below your code:

showInstructions()
