[Tutor] A Text Adventure Problem

[John Bochicchio]

1. I'm using the terminal to run the code. Using the command - (cd python
&& python2 game1.py)
2. Using python 2.6 I believe.
3. I'm running Arch Linux at the moment.
4. I'm new to python, but I assume the error must have something to do with
not having a way for the program to move to the next area of the code.
