Re: [Tutor] my text adventure

thanks. i had actually coded this almost exactly the same. i'll try to make my questions more specific. i am able to pickle and restore world. which is a dictionary of coordinates : room objects. when i look at the savefile that pickle generates i can see all my descriptions and exits. however when i reload my world gets back all the rooms that were created with dig. but the rooms don't have their exits or descriptions. is pickle the right tool for this? can i pickle.dump more than one thing to the same savefile? or how could i go about creating a structure that holds room, coords, descriptions and exits? and then pickle and unpickle that. or would it be better to write my own functions to write everything to a file and not use pickle at all? eventually my program will have many more things to keep track of and i am thinking that the saving and restoring of a programs state (is that correct usage?) could be important in many different programs. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Lowe To: david Cc: tutor@python.org Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 1:24 AM Subject: Re: [Tutor] my text adventure On Dec 3, 2005, at 9:40 PM, david wrote: sorry i forgot a subject line. i have looked at the pickle module and was able to pickle world. but i can't figure how to restore everything. import pickle def save_game(state, filename):     file = open(filename, 'w')     pickle.dump(state, file)     file.close() def load_game(filename):     file = open(filename, 'r')     state = pickle.load(file)     file.close()     return state save_game(world, 'mygame') world = load_game('mygame') --  logic (n.): the art of being wrong with confidence.
