Python + global variables = ;_;

I'm new to python and 'real' programming. I fucked around with logo and qbasic before briefly, but never anything serious.

I want to change a variable from inside a function, but it only creates a local one with the same name. How the fuck do i change the global variable? (in this case "current_room").

please explain it to me or link to something useful.

in b4 people flip out and call me names + act like fags and bitch about python

I was at my friend's apartment smoking hookah with him and some people I didn't know. For some reason they would all chew and lick the hose instead of just using it to smoke and it was really irritating.
