Python Text based Game - Luoxiang - Dec-22-2017

Hello everyone.
I am new to programming in general. I took up Python Because it was the language I wanted to use for this text based adventure game I wanted to make!
I have however run into some issue with getting a character in the game with me. This is going to be a longer one, so bare with me.
I have been succesful with adding locations to the game like this
Source module:

 
# add another location to the game
  def add_location(self,  location ):
    location.game = self
    self.locations[location.name] = location
    return location

  def new_location(self, *args):
    return self.add_location(Location(*args))

Then I write the location like this:

# define and describe a couple of locations
Infirmary = game.new_location(
    "Infirmary",
    """Test Description for first room""")

Now this works. The issue im having is how to implement this:

# add an actor to the game
  def add_actor(self, actor):
    actor.game = self

    if isinstance(actor, Player):
      self.player = actor

I have tried this:

Joebloe = game.add_actor ("joebloe"
"""I am not really sure :/"""

So i know that you dont know what most of my variables mean without seeing the whole script. But if anyone can point me to the correct direction, like how to format the new character, or if i am going about it all wrong...that would help a lot!

With OOP you need to create and instance. Because I don't know what the class name or if it has any argument. I'm just assume you got a class called:game without any argument

Joebloe = game()
Joebloe.add_actor("joebloe")

# add an actor to the game
  def add_actor(self, actor):
    actor.game = self

Is actor another class?
