Just spent 5 hours bug fixing HLA Adventure (my head's about to roll off!)

Man, that's the last time I drink Dr. Pepper and spend 5+ hours
STRAIGHT bug fixing HLA Adventure. :) I think I uploaded a "new
version" of HLA Adventure very hour, on the hour, from 7 pm until just
now (12:07 AM June 5th).

Summary of fixes in the last five hours:

Fixed errors with the "go", "take" and "get" commands. No longer can a
player type "get barrels" or "take town" and have it say "Taken."

These changed weren't trivial, simply because I had to keep going back
to the code, making change after change, to try to fix where the errors
were. Finally determined that my parser suffers from "pasta code" and
the "str.index" grue. (It is dark. You see "str.index". You are likely
to be eaten by a str.index grue.) :)

Bleh.

Will strmatch save me these "fun" debugging sesssions? :) Probably.

I need another Dr. Pepper...
