Hello

I have been following tutorial online about making a text based game. The code does not work if any one knows how to fix this or a tutorial that works would be most appreciated here is my code:

try: par = raw_input ('What direction do you want to go in? n = north...')

if par=='north' or par=='n':
print ('you are going north')

elif par=='south' or par=='s':
print ('you are going south')

the top if has the invalid syntax and gets highlighted red.

Thankyou
DrJonSmith

DrJonSmith, can you please post your full code inside code tags (see the post at the top of the python forum). We need to see your indentation add this is vital for python code.

e.g. like

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python

try:
   par = raw_input ('What direction do you want to go in? n = north...')

   if par=='north' or par=='n':
      print ('you are going north')

   elif par=='south' or par=='s':
      print ('you are going south')

finally:
   pass

The above code does what I think you are trying to do.
