[Tutor] exercise with classes

[Prasad, Ramit]

>I am learning Python using the "Learn Python the Hard Way" book by Zed Shaw.  I reached exercise 42 where we learn about Python classes.  The exercise shows a game with one class that includes all the definitions for playing the game.  For extra credit we are asked to create another version of this game where we use two classes - one for the room definitions and the other for the playing the game.  I feel stumped and don't know how to go about creating this game with two classes.
> So far I have searched for info on how to pass variables from one class to another and have been able to create a small two class program (attached).   But I seem unable to generalize from here and apply this to the game exercise.  What would you suggest for me to try next?  

It is usually better to include short code directly in your email 
or link to something like pastebin for longer samples. Many of the people
on this list do access it from email and they do not get attachments.

As for the extra credit: You can store the possible actions 
in the room (dodge, shoot, etc.). So for central_corridor (an instance
of class Room) you have the player do something like 

action = raw_input('>)
consequence = central_corridor.do_action( action )
new_room = Game.getRoom( consequence ) 
# Might need to replace Game with self depending on where this code is located.
action = raw_input('>)
consequence = new_room.do_action( action )
