 You can test your Room, Creature, Weapon, and Parser classes via the [[Media:Game.java]] file. The Game class provides the main() method for the game program, which sets up several Room, Creature, and Weapon objects (including the Creature object that represents the player), prints out an introduction, and enters a loop that repeatedly calls the enterRoom() method of the Room object in which the player is located.

 The Room class should use variables to represent the following attributes:
 * '''Room roomToNorth''': contains a reference to the Room object reached by going north from this room, or null if no such Room exists.
