Question

I am trying to use object orientation to create a game. I want to be able to access rooms and run activities but only be able to run certain activities in each room. I have all the activities assigned to a Object and I want to use the variable that the player typed in to access the Objects’ variables then print what they did in the room.

    if activitiesList[i] == choice2:
        convert = (activitiesList2[i + 1])
        convert = str(convert)
        print ('You', a.convert, 'in', a.name)

Convert gets the name of the activity from the list then I want it to tell the Object which variable it’s looking for.
Everything I have tried just results in the program looking for the attribute ‘convert’ in the Object.
How do i get it to search for the attribute that the player chose?

It’s not entirely clear what you’re asking, but I suspect you want getattr:

action = getattr(a, convert)
