hello, i'm new to this website and well only have a few months of python exp. i decided to make a small, simple rather easy if HUMOR game. When is started, i did not know a whole lot other than how to make lists and scenes and make a way to get "a key" to "open doors" and hiding them under "lamps, beds, etc." I know a bit more from studying other peoples code. so here it is(Note it says version 2.0 because i this one has some slight "modifications" made to it, if you want, i could post version 1.0) :
# Title: All out of Cheese burgers, Version 2.0
# Genre: Humor/Text Adventure
# Date: November 16, 2009
import textwrap
import sys
# Intro text:
scenes = {

"description": "Sneaking in to the kitchen, you can't believe your eyes. Melted cheese on top of " \
