Hi,
I'm attemting to learn programming with Python and am currently trying to design an adventure game that sets up rooms
and a player can move between them. I'm having problems working out a lop function that can move the player around the rooms.
The current method has an error code saying 'list index out of range'. I don't want to throw in the towel and will carry on trying to
debug the programme but is there a better way to loop the method and is there a way to show a message if a wrong direction
is chosen. The code is shown below and any help or advice is much appreciatted.

#Adventure rooms - a programme to set up a room move system
#Set up a room class
class room:
def __init__ (self,description,exits,connecting_rooms):
self.description = description
self.exits = exits
self.connecting_rooms = connecting_rooms
#--------------------------------------------------------------
#set up a player class
class player:
def __init__ (self,name,location):
self.name = name
self.location = location
#---------------------------------------------------------------
# set up two rooms
room1 = room("a coridoor, with exits south",["s","e","n"],["room2"])
room2 = room("the middle of the coridoor, with exits north and east", ["n","e"],["room1","room3"])
room3 = room("an office, with a desk and stuff",["w"],["room2"])
#set up a player
player1 = player("tharg the destroyer",room1)
#------------------------------------------------------------------
# set up a look function
def look():
#function that displays room information
message = "you are in " + player1.location.description
print (message)
#------------------------------------------------------------------
# set up a move function that changes the room
def move(room):
if room == "room1":
player1.location = room1
look()
elif room == "room2":
player1.location = room2
look()
elif room == "room3":
player1.location = room3
look()
else:
print ("You cannot move this way")
#------------------------------------------------------------------
# set up a function that takes a direction and moves to the coresponding room
#check that the currect room has the direction given
def roomChange(direction):
#takes a direction, checks it is valid then uses move function to change rooms
exit_count = len(player1.location.exits)
print (exit_count)
for i in range (exit_count) :
if direction == player1.location.exits[i]:
move(player1.location.connecting_rooms[i])
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
#test the code
look()
#player goes to south room
roomChange("s")
#this room change shows the index out of range error message
roomChange("n")
