Subject: Re: how to execute a method every few seconds

yeah, I can see what you're saying, Ken, I was just trying to get an 
idea of how basically to do something like that in a short, simple test 
"game". Not really so much a game as just a test to see if the code 
functions the way it's supposed to. I'm nowhere near ready to create a 
full game yet. :-p

I'm just trying to get used to some of the concepts a game would 
require, such as adding items to inventory, taking them out, using items 
on characters to remove status effects, etc. I'm trying to keep it on a 
simple, one character/enemy level right now. I want to understand how to 
do these basic things on a small, one character scale before I get into 
trying to do anything larger, even on just a text-based level.

Simple battle with 1 enemy with only 'attack' and 'item' as options, 
attacks always succeed (so I don't have to worry about programming the 
possibility of them missing the target) no special skills, except the 
enemy can inflict 'poison' on the character. I'm slowly figuring things 
out as I go.
