I am fooling around with classes and I was trying to create a very small one player text adventure. I made a class called commands here it is: class Commands: def __init__(self): pass def quiting(self): sys.exit() def look(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def get(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def take(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def kill(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def drink(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def eat(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def eq(self): print "\nNot working yet!\n" def helpsys(self,response): answer = None i = ['look','get','take','kill','drink','eat','eq','help'] while not answer in i: answer = raw_input(response) #Help files will go here return answer
there is nothing special about it yet. But in the main code wich is: while 1: com = Commands() a = ['look', 'get', 'take', 'kill', 'drink', 'eat', 'eq', 'help', 'quit'] commandl = raw_input(">>>: ") if commandl not in a: print "\nI don't understand that command?\n" I want to beable to type in a command from the list at the prompt and have it call one of the functions from the class. I was looking for a shorter way to write it but the only way I can think of is with an if statment for each command. Is there a better way or shorter way to do this?
