Selecting Items from a Backpack

Add a searched attribute to the Room constructor

In room.py

class Room():

    number_of_rooms = 0

    def __init__(self, room_name):

        self.name = room_name

        self.description = None

        self.linked_rooms = {}

        self.character = None

        self.item = None

# add the searched flag attribute 

        self.searched = False

        Room.number_of_rooms = Room.number_of_rooms + 1

The goal is to have the room only display the item if it has been searched

in main.py

.

.

.

while dead == False:

print("\n")         

current_room.get_details()

inhabitant = current_room.get_character()

  if inhabitant is not None:

        inhabitant.describe()

# Check if the room has been searched

if current_room.searched:

    item = current_room.get_item()

    if item is not None:

        item.describe()

    command = input("> ")  

.

.

Add flair to the game by adding text when you find an item in your search

in item.py

class Item():

    def __init__(self, item_name):

        self.name = item_name

        self.description = None

# add the found_text attribute

self.found_text = "You find " + self.name

def set_found_text(self, text):

self.found_text = text

    def get_name(self):

        return self.name 

.

.

Now that we have changed the display,, we need to change the attribute in game.

In main.py

.

.

.

    elif command == "take":

        if item is not None:

            print("You put the " + item.get_name() + " in your backpack")

            backpack.append(item.get_name())

            current_room.set_item(None)

# Add a command to change the searched attribute

elif command == "search":

if current_room.searched:

print("\nYou find nothing more here.")

else:

current_room.searched = True

if current_room.item:

print(current_room.item.found_text)

else:

print("\nThere is nothing to find here.")

.
