Python Adventure Game

As well as the space invaders game mentioned in an earlier post I thought that I would also implement a textual adventure for the nostalgia value.

I sketched the map of the game on paper as shown below.

Map 1

Map 2

And then implemented the data structure in python.

# Room data indexes
SHORT_DESC = 0
LONG_DESC = 1
N_EXIT = 2
S_EXIT = 3
E_EXIT = 4
W_EXIT = 5
U_EXIT = 6
D_EXIT = 7
OBJECT = 8
 
# Room Data
rooms = [
['dummy'],

The game is now mostly working. Only the puzzles left to implement.
