Notes:

Current known issues:

- Save/load needs bugfixing. Not working at present.  
- combat, inventory management, and item use not fully implemented.  
	- item use technically implemented. The methods are all there. Same for managing equipment.  
	- both will be possible once an inventory management / access interface is implemented.  
- NPC interactions implemented in code, but no content yet.  
- Some minor formatting issues with printing  
- No option to change text speed.  

The state of the game and engine:

- World/room architecture fully implemented, including:  
	- a Map class to manage room loading/writing  
		- Starting a new game loads a new map from the data in "resources/rooms.csv"  
	- Room navigation  
	- Interaction with items in room  
	- Interaction with NPCs in room  
- Easy to add new content:   
	- No code is required when adding or modifying items, rooms, or characters. Simply edit the csv 
	to add content.  
	- Each entry in csv is structured according to header lines  
	- Items, characters, and rooms are read from csv files and processed at runtime  
	- Room descriptions are read from txts at runtime.  
		- If you create a new room, you can write its description in a corresponding [roomid].txt
		  file in "./out/resources/room_data/"  
- my_utils.TimedPrint class handles printing.  
	- Special characters ('.', ',', '_', '\n') trigger a longer sleep time than normal characters, 
	  adding to the sense that terminal output is being written or spoken.  
	- This can be easily changed
