I am creating a text-based game for my Python class and I can't get it to display the item when entering the room. I can collect it, and the inventory gets displayed. Just not the item that is in the room. I have put in the code I am using currently, I have tried adjusting it but then I get errors thrown at me.
# Welcome message to the player

print("\t\t\tWelcome to professional wrestling!\n\nVance McMan has locked all wrestlers into an evil "
"contract.\n\n"
"You must collect all 6 items and defeat Vance to free all the wrestlers.\n\n"
f"To move:\t'go {direction}' \n\
\t 'get item name' \n\n")

Among several other issues, when you're splitting on the user's input command, you need to add a maxsplit so that the second portion of the string can contain spaces unmodified.
