Adding a location

Locations are organized in files. Each location is its own file.

You can add a location by following these steps:

1. Add a file in the /locations directory.
2. The file must include a variable defining a dictionary. That dictionary must follow the following structure:

location_variable = {
  "USER_INPUT": {
    "output": function_name,
    "next_location_id": None
  }
}

Replace the location_variable with a unique name.

For each possible user input, add a dictionary. The dictionary must have a output and next_location_id value.

The output should be assigned a function and return a string to display to the user.

The next_location_id should be any ID available in the locations dictionary in the main.py file if the user in put should change the location to that place. Use None if the location should not be changed.

Define a "fallback" as USER_INPUT for one of the dictionaries to catch all not-matched user inputs.

Once the room is defined:

1. Import the room's dictionary variable in the main.py file.
2. Give the location an ID and define it as key in the locations variable of the main.py file. Reference the imported room to that key (see other rooms as example).
3. Ensure your room is accessible from anywhere in the existing game by adding its ID string (defined above) as next_location_id to another room.
