Due to the type of game it has at least 32 variables for things such as Romm Names, Room Locations, Room Descriptions etc Some procedures require many variables to produce a result and some variables are used many times in procedures. The use of arrays also helped to simplify the code.

public class Room {
    public static List<Room> AllRooms=new List<Room>();
    private string name;
    private Point location;
    private bool isLightOn;
    ...

    public Room(string name, Point location, ...) {
        this.name=name;
        AllRooms.Add(this);
    }

    public string Name { get {return name;}}

    public Point Location { get {return location;}}

    public void SwitchOnLight() {
        isLightOn=true;
    }

    public static Room FindByName(string name) {
        foreach(Room r in AllRooms) {
            if (r.Name==name) return r;
        }
        return null; // or throw some exception
    }
}

Room myRoom1=new Room("kitchen", ...);
Room myRoom2=new Room("study", ...);

Room someRoom=Room.FindByName("kitchen");
someRoom.SwitchOnLight();

Room myRoom1=new Room("kitchen", ...);
inventory(myRoom1);

I had considered using Lists but I think there was no direct access to the data in a list except using the foreach command.

List<string> items = new List<string>();
items.Add("Hello");
items.Add("World");
Console.Writeline(items[0] + " " + items[1]);
