In my text-based adventure game I am currently having a little trouble. I have a list of items (key, flashlight, battery, and map) and I have placed these items in certain rooms in the Locale array I have created. Using the command T, when this key is pressed, the player must take the item from the room and add it to their inventory which can be seen by pressing the letter I. When an item is successfully taken, it is supposed to add 5 points to their score and remove the item from the Locale so that it can't be taken twice. I need some help with the I and T commands as I know what needs to be done, I'm just not sure how to execute it.
Thank you in advance for all help!! :)
