* TODO: Implement a chronometer into the game. :-) In other words, track the passage of time.
* Perhaps something simple, such as one minute for each move, and display a digital clock
* readout above, when the room screen refresh occurs. Time : 3:43 pm (or even just the time)
*
* So, there are two types of time passage I am thinking about:
* 1.) The game is ALWAYS turn-based. In other words, time only passes when a command
* is actually entered by the player. Otherwise, time stands still.
*
* 2.) Game's Global time: For every move, time passes. This allows us to display
* general, time-related events, such as "a full moon shines its rays through the window."
* And global events can happen in the game. "The chiming of a great clock can be heard!"
*
* 3.) Also, specific passage of time can be captured in relation to a room or location.
* Time is captured when entering the room, and something will happen if the player
* doesn't respond within 'n' number of moves.
*
* Since a great deal of exploration by the player occurs in teh game, it would lose a
* significant element of fun if EVERYTHING in the game was time-based move to move!
*
* NOTE: These are things to think about... I have far more to get working first, before implementing this!
