Call a def from a string

[Larz60+]

FYI def has a name it's 'function' or 'method' if part of a class.

This is best done by creating a class named Room. Then when you want a room, you instantiate a new class.

Dumb Example (but gets the point across (I hope):

class Room:
    def __init__(self):
        self.current = None

    def dead(self):
        self.current = 'Dead'
    
    def alive(self):
        self.current = 'Alive'

class MyGame:
    def __init__(self):
        self.den = Room()
        self.den.alive()
        self.kitchen = Room()
        self.kitchen.alive()

    def display_rooms(self):
        print('\nden is {}'.format(self.den.current))
        print('kitchen is {}'.format(self.kitchen.current))
    
    def play(self):
        print('In the beginning')
        self.display_rooms()
        self.den.dead()
        print('A while later')
        self.display_rooms()
        self.den.alive()
        self.kitchen.dead()
        print('\nIn the end: ')
        self.display_rooms()

if  __name__ == '__main__':
    game = MyGame()
    game.play()

results:

Output:
In the beginning

den is Alive
kitchen is Alive
A while later

den is Dead
kitchen is Alive

In the end:

den is Alive
kitchen is Dead
