Need Help with Turing Game

In the same way that you call a a procedure, you can also refer to a variable.

For instance if you have a class with a procedure called show_description, you can do this:

object -> show_description

Lets say you have a variable called description. You can call it the same way:

put object -> description

Well, I have an idea of how to add things to the inventory. My problem is displaying the array of type ^Item. As Tony said, I'd have to use something like "to_string" which I've never seen before. As far as I can think of, your way would require checking to see if the item is present, and the whole thing I'm stuck on is not wanting 100 if statements to check all of this.

I don't understand your question. You already have an instance of of ^Item, that's what you are trying to print.

It would be up to the ^Item to contain the code to describe itself, which should be straight-forward.

This is a very good design objective to have

YES! I finally got it to work! It displays the inventory and I got dropping items to work.
Thank you everyone for your help!
