Story Engine v2

I circled back to story engine v2. Titanic was a demo story that was locked on rails. Users could not edit either. All v2 stories will be editable in the UI. Can add objects, exits, set conditions on objects and effects when used. Can add rooms, artwork, and export them all as a plugin in a zip file.

I went in to the demo story, added a gold chest, and a gold key. Then the AI picked up the key and used it on the chest later on. The inventory system works like a dream.

All features just sort of fell out of the architecture. A hint can be added as an object like a letter that shows up 3 turns in a room in. A teleporter wand can be made with a hidden exit in any room you can teleport to. A room can show a secret item when the player returns to the room. Or prompt pieces can be toggled like fear when we pick up the moonstone crystal.
