[Tutor] Hands-on beginner's project?

[Luke Paireepinart]

room == start is a comparison (check if room is equal to start - doesn't
make a whole lot of sense to be doing that here).  The "room" variable name
doesn't exist in the current namespace, so it can't be compared to start.
It looks like you wanted room = start.
