Why is the value not changing when I change the number I assign?

Question

I am working on a simple project using getch(). When I apply the variable 'door', it only sets to door1.

 if getch()==(' '):
  clicks+=1 
  money += door
  print("$ =", money, ((clicks-100)*-1), "clicks remaining", door, door1, door2, door3)

 if getch()==('1'):
  door=door1
  clicks +=1
  print("door 1 chosen,",((clicks-100)*-1), "clicks remaining", door, door1, door2, door3)

if getch()==('2'):
  door=door3
  clicks+=1
  print("door 2 chosen, -1 clicks",((clicks-100)*-1), "clicks remaining", door, door1, door2, door3)

if getch()==('3'):
  door=door3
  clicks+=1
  print("door 3 chosen, -1 click",((clicks-100)*-1), "clicks remaining", door, door1, door2, door3)

The computer is reading that I have selected a different door. It prints what I've asked it to print and changes the click count, but the value of 'door' continues to be equal to the value of 'door1'. I don't fully understand why.

Just as an aside, (I don't know if this is going to be relevant or not) the code I've posted is all under a while True loop.

Try to change your code and structure to be :

from getch import getch

#Read input data/values

str=getch()

#Make your conditions that depends on Input value(str)

if str==(' '):
  clicks+=1 
  money += door

 elif str=('1'):
  door=door1
  clicks +=1

elif str==('2'):
  door=door3
  clicks+=1

elif str==('3'):
  door=door3
  clicks+=1
