 * '''void printDescription(self)''': Print blank lines at the beginning and end of the method.  This method prints the room's description, then prints a line describing the exits of the room.  This line should take the form, "You may exit to the north" or "You may exit to the east, south, and west".  If a room has no exits the line should read, "There are no exits".  If there is a weapon or a creature in the room, it should print these out as well.  Note that you are welcome to print the exits on separate lines (one line says, "There is an exit to the north", the next line says, "there is an exit to the south", etc.)
-* '''Room enterRoom(self, Creature player)''': This method is called when the player enters a room, and handles all user input and actions until the player leaves that room (at which point enterRoom() returns a reference to the Room object that the player enters next) or quits (at which point enterRoom() returns null).

 ##** If the player is already holding a weapon (other than the default "bare hands" weapon) then the player should "drop" it first (i.e.,  swap the reference stored in player.weapon with that stored in self.item and print out an appropriate message).  In other words, the self.item field should be set to the contents of player.weapon, and vice-versa.  You will need to use a temporary Weapon variable to perform this swap.
 ##* '''menu.ATTACK''': Check to see if the monster field is '''None'''.  If so, print "There is nothing to attack". Otherwise, have the player try to attack the monster using the various methods in the Creature class (e.g., tryToAttack(), takeDamage(), constructHitString(), etc.) -- see the [[CombatSimulation.py]] for an example of how to do this. Be sure to print out the amount of hit points for both the player and the monster.  Whether or not the attack succeeds in causing damage, set the monster's '''angry''' field to True to indicate that the monster will now attack the player.  If the monster is no longer alive after the attack, print a message to indicate that the player is victorious and set the monster field to '''None'''.

Once a monster is angry, however, it will continue attacking the player as long as the player is in the same room as the monster.
