#This is where I'm assembling notes on how to build my 
#inventory structures and laying it out.    
 
""" Crazy ideas:
Do classes, wizard can cast spells, fighter can have a shield and choose to slash (dam+reduce target AC) or thrust (dam+dam-player AC) 
or defend (plus dam+player AC), thief can hear when a wandering monster is in the next room and hide in the shadows (check room exits vs wandering 
monster locations) 
 
Monsters: Monsters come in two flavours: Static and mobile(mob). If I can, I should just write Mobs and limit their range to one room if I 
want them to be static. Mobs will have a territory list, which is a truncated version of the room list. Each round they will pick a random 
exit from where they are at, if it is not on their room list they will pick again until it is. Monsters will have movement speed: each mob 
will have a movement timer variable, each round it will drop by one, when it reaches zero moving=True and we reset the variable to it's max 
figure. Try not to have monsters who move every round, as they will be impossible to follow if they flee, or uh maybe have an exception to 
that rule, a theif who if he flees is impossible to catch and must be randomly encountered later (love this idea, he can also rob the player 
zork style). Also, let's limit mobs to one per room, A mob will NOT wander into another mobs room (that way we can have a single monster 
variable for each room). Monsters can flee combat if they are cowardly, have them check if they are in the room with the player, if their 
injuries have reached a threshold, and if they are cowards (even HOW cowardly on a scale). If they have reached their fear threshold 
they will roll each round to see if they flee. 
 
Mob Loot: If I have an economy based game where players can sell loot and buy things I will make loot table and assign them to mobs
If I do not make an economy based game then I will use the event handler to tie some item drops to specific monsters (you need to kill the 
wizard to get the key to hit inner sanctum.
 
To handle Mob Stats: There are two ways to handle this, either create a system to spawn monsters at random, or (which would be easier) just create
a system database of all monsters in the game at start (init at game start), we can then just update their DBs per round to know where they have
moved, if they have taken damage, and if they are dead.

"""all three classes if inventory item will be handled in much the same way as the map DB. At the bottom of the inventory_items super class
