global referenced before assignment

[mruane]

Can you tell me where this unassigned global is...I looked everywhere but cannot find it.

global gold
gold = 0
global a_gold_a
a_gold_a = 15
global a_gold_b
a_gold_b = 15
global a_gold_c
a_gold_c = 20
global room1_done
room1_done = 0

def prompt_main():
    global a_gold_a, a_gold_b, a_gold_c, room1_done
    x = raw_input("What do you search? ")
    if x == "couch":
        if a_gold_a == 15:
            a_gold_a = a_gold_a - 15
            gold = gold + 15
            print "You found 15 gold."
            if gold == 50:
                room2()
            else:
                prompt_main()
        else:
            print "There is no more gold in this couch."
            prompt_main()
    elif x == "newspaper":
        print "There is no gold under this newspaper."
        prompt_main()
    elif x == "painting":
        if a_gold_b == 15:
            a_gold_b = a_gold_b - 15
            gold = gold + 15
            print "You found 15 gold behind this painting. How wierd!"
            if gold == 50:
                room2()
            else:
                prompt_main()
        else:
            print "There is no gold anywhere near this painting."
            prompt_main()
    elif x == "lamp":
        print "Nope. No gold by this lamp."
        prompt_main()
    elif x == "desk":
        if a_gold_c == 20:
            a_gold_c = a_gold_c - 20
            gold = gold + 20
            print "You found 20 gold in the desk drawer!"
            
def Main():
    global gold
    print "Your current gold is... ", gold
    print """You are in a large room. You need to find 50 gold to leave this room.
There is a COUCH with a NEWSPAPER on it. There is a PAINTING hanging on the wall
with a picture of a racoon. A LAMP sits on a DESK.
"""
    prompt_main()

Thank you!

If you post the actual error message it will make it a lot easier. I tells us the line in which the error happened

[vegaseat]

lines 18, 33, 48 for instance
You don't need to declare globals outside the function, just inside the function that uses them.

def test_globals():
    global gold  # <-- this is needed
    for n in range(5):
        gold = gold + 15
        print gold

global gold  # <-- this is not needed
gold = 0
test_globals()

Also this is much simpler ...

def clear():
    print '\n' * 65  # print 65 newlines
