Interactive fiction game for CMSC 331.

Due Oct 16

Write an interactive fiction game. It may be as deep or shallow as you like, though obviously greater care in execution will result in a better grade. It should be possible to beat the game given the following instructions:

GET ALL
OPEN DOOR
EAST
GET EDELWEISS
UP
ENTER CAVE
LIGHT FIRE
WAIT
WAIT
PUT EDELWEISS IN FIRE
ATTACH HELMET TO STATUE
SHOW PRISM TO PICKLE
EXIT CAVE
NORTH
PONDER THE MEANING OF LIFE
SAY XYZZY TO KNIGHT
EAST
TAKE DUCK
EAT IT
NORTH
OPEN CAULDRON
PUT GINGER IN CAULDRON
SAY PLUGH TO MACBETH
LIGHT FIRE
INHALE FUMES
WAIT
POLISH MIRROR
EXAMINE MIRROR

Though other paths to victory are, naturally, preferred. This must be a game with a line-based text parser, not a simple hyperlink game (such as one made with Twine). The user must type in commands, and the program recognize/interpret/process them.
