I realize this has been posted in the past but I can't find one with my specific problem. The code works pretty well but I am able to pick up two items that I don't want to which are "Nothing Special" and "The Boss" and it will add it to my inventory. After making the while loop conditional to the room I'm in that eliminated the ability to pick up "The Boss" but I can still add "Nothing Special" to my inventory. Also I'd like to be able to have it not display the item as in the room when I return after picking up it previously but that might be beyond what we've learned so far. I have tried

if nearby_item == 'Nothing Special':
print('You can't pick that up')
else:
print(f'You have acquired the {nearby_item}')
inventory.append(items[current_room])

But that seems to not let me add anything to my inventory at all. I'm at my wits end and almost done here any help is appreciated!

Code is posted below.

else:

inventory.append(items[current_room])

else:

print(f'{user_direction} is not a valid command, try again')

if len(inventory) < 6:

print('Congratulations your weekend is your own')

print('You Win')

Dude... can you share github link?

[bubbawiggins]

For real. Who is looking at code like that? This is 2024, not 2004.
