Making money an item seems good to me. That way, whatever we chose for
money won't be hardcoded into the engine.

Oh, and we'll certainly need a method to iterate over an inventory. That
would be useful for saving, but is also needed for an inventory GUI
later on.

That's clever. :)


Well, all in all that's a good start. Not long and we can think about
integrating things into the engine. (Have you already thought about
handling items on the map, Alex?)
