Hey im a beginner but i sorta wanna jump ahead and instead of e-mailing for 
everything i needed one at a time im doing them all at once!: I want to make 
a little text-adventure game. I know how to output the text to the screen and 
get the user input( i use cin and cout, i dont know any other way )but first 
how would get input with spaces? Such as: Kill Enemy or Get Bottle? How would 
i make those actions work?  How do i use random things like...you go north, 
random to pick enemies or some items? How do i save the game to a dat file as 
it goes along ( remembers dead enemies or picked up items, also how do i add 
items to a var. like if i wanted to add a Bottle and a Box to items and then 
output it)and save and load at the end(quit)?

I know this is a lot but i would really appreciate it if anyone could help?
