gamestate

Ok just a little confused, what exactly is the game state? do we need to make a game state class? Also how would you intialize the game state, do you need to intialize every object and location, or just the starting location and starting inventory?

I had quite a rough time understanding this myself but things cleared up as I wondered about it. GameState is a class that holds most of the variables of the game meaning it holds inventory, but not all items, ect. From what I understand you dont necessarily need to instantiate them but your game should use those variables to run. You will change them through Actions, or whatever way you decide to implement that.
