To create a new item

2. Attach the new_object command to it:
         location_variable . new_object()
         Example: sidewalk.new_object()

3. Pick a name for your new item:
         location_variable.new_object("item name")
         Example: sidewalk.new_object("stick")

4. Pick a description for your new item:
         location_variable.new_object("item name", "item description")
         Example: sidewalk.new_object("stick","a wooden stick")

5. Store your new item in a variable:
         item_variable = location_variable.new_object("item name", "item description")
         Example: stick = sidewalk.new_object("stick","a wooden stick")

To add an in-game command for an item

1. Choose what item you want to make an in-game command for:
         item_variable

         Example: stick.add_phrase("wave stick")

4. Add what the game says when the in-game command is used:
         item_variable.add_phrase("in-game command", Say("What the game will say."))
         Example: stick.add_phrase("wave stick", Say("You feel like a powerful wizard!"))
