Adding an inventory and a combat system to a text based adventure game

[detkitten]

Hello,

I am relatively new to Python and have started making a text-based adventure game. I have made the basic movement part of the game using a script similar to this:

rooms = {
    'kitchen': {
        'name': 'your kitchen', 
        'east': 'bedroom', 
        'north': 'bathroom',
        'text': 'You see your familliar kitchen bench.'},
    'bathroom': {
        'name': 'your bathroom', 
        'east': 'lounge', 
        'south': 'kitchen',
        'text': 'You see your toilet and basin, and Bob the rubber duck.'},
    'lounge': {
        'name': 'your lounge room', 
        'west': 'bathroom', 
        'south': 'bedroom',
        'text': 'You see your couch, which is facing your tv.'},
    'bedroom': {
        'name': 'your bedroom', 
        'north': 'lounge', 
        'west': 'kitchen',
        'text': 'You see your cozy bed piled with teddies.'}
    }
directions = ['north', 'south', 'east', 'west']
current_room = rooms['kitchen']

while True:
    print()
    print('You are in {}.'.format(current_room['name']))
    print(current_room['text'])
    command = input('\nWhat do you do? ').strip()
    if command in directions:
        if command in current_room:
            current_room = rooms[current_room[command]]
        else:
            print("You can't go that way.")
    elif command.lower() in ('q', 'quit', 'exit'):
        break
    else:
        print("I don't understand that command.")

I want to add an inventory system and a combat system to the game, but am not sure how to do that.

Thanks,
