I love dictionaries!

[SolidState]

I am by no means an expert in programming, but I thought that I would share with the forum my recent love for the dictionary data-type in Python. This seems to be a versatile data-type and recently I found a use for it in a game project I'm working on.

I used it to store a room object's, exit objects by a string name.
This allows me to take raw_input from the user to utilize said exit object

Here is my move() function to give a visual to what I'm talking about.

def move(char, rooms, exit):
    #Here we move our character through one of his room's exits
	for i in rooms:
		if i.loc == char.loc:
                    #lock testing
			if i.exits[exit].locked == "yes":
				if i.exits[exit].openwith in char.inventory:
					char.loc = i.exits[exit].link
				elif i.exits[exit].conditions in char.conditions:
					char.loc = i.exits[exit].link
			else:
                            #if not locked
				char.loc = i.exits[exit].link
			break

I know it's not much but I wanted to share. Anyone else have a love for dictionaries, or another data-type?

Yeah, linked lists.

I particularly have feelings for the boolean data type. There's something about it, dunno what. The fact you can only store two things in it, probably. Plus, the name is funny - I've never known how to pronounce it lol.

Hah, funny hash tables...

Yes dictionnairies in python are extremely useful .
