In class today we had a list of challenges to attempt with our RPG!

• Add additional rooms.

• Find a way to add a description of each room that describes every direction you can go.

• Find a way to have multiple items inside the same room.

• Find a way to add descriptions to items that display when the item is picked up.

• Create alternate win/loss scenarios.

• Make a trapdoor. Once you go through it you can't go back that way!

• Make a "teleport to" command that will put you in any room!

• Find a way to survive your encounter with the monster!

Below is Chad's solutions to these challenges (and as always, Chad's solutions are not necessarily the best!)
