So, before you harp on me for being a terrible coder, I'm new to Python, so please excuse my mistakes. (I'm also only 14, so I'm not a super genius...) I'm trying to write a simple program using tuples to loop around, and I'm trying to set an inventory in place. However, I haven't found an efficient way add an item to a base list whenever I activate something, etc. Here's the code, I won't remove any of the useless stuff in case something else in there is screwing things up. | Code: | # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
inventory = ""
lowerHull = ('Lower Hull', "You stand in the rocking hollow space of a ship's hull. There is a doorway to the north and stairs leading up in the middle of the room.")
storageRoom = ('Storage Room', "A storage room for the crew's supplies. However, the shelves look barren right now. There is an exit to the south.")
upperHull = ('Upper Hull', 'Hull. There are stairs leading down and up.')
midDeck = ('Mid-Deck', 'You stand in the middle of the deck. There are stairs leading down into the hull. The wind blows in your hair.')
leftDeck = ('Left-Deck', 'You stand on the left side of the deck. The wind blows in your hair.')
rightDeck = ('Right-Deck', 'You stand on the left side of the deck. The wind blows in your hair.')
railing = ('Railing', "You are now able to see that you do not stand on a sea-ship. You're in a sky-ship!")
transitions = {
lowerHull: (storageRoom, upperHull),
storageRoom: (lowerHull,),
upperHull: (lowerHull, midDeck),
midDeck: (upperHull, leftDeck, rightDeck, railing),
leftDeck: (midDeck,),
rightDeck: (midDeck,),
railing: (midDeck,)
}
location = lowerHull
while True:
print location[1]
print('You can go to these places:')
for (i, t) in enumerate(transitions[location]):
print i + 1, t[0]
choice = int(raw_input('Choose one or press 0 for inventory '))
if (choice==0):
print ('You are holding:')
print inventory
else:
location = transitions[location][choice - 1]

As you might see, I'm trying to add items (Strings, really, the items don't need to be associated with anything to actually do anything. I'll mess with defs and classes later.) to the list 'inventory'.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm using Python 2.7 on Debian Sid with IDLE Python Development Environment. I'm probably missing one simple argument I need to pass to get it to work, but that's what learning a language is about, right?
Anyways, any and all help/criticism is appreciated, so thanks in advance.
