Subject: game development in ruby

Hi, Im fairly new to ruby, and as an exercise of what i've learned and
an attempt to further understand ruby, i have decided to create a text
based RPG. I've been able to get pretty far with virtually no trouble,
but i have ran into a problem. I am having some trouble with the save
mechanism. the way it works is that it only saves the state of the areas
that you have the ability to travel to. but in certain areas, events are
triggered based on objects in the your inventory/environments. the
trouble i've been having is if you save once you're able to travel to
the areas, but exit the game before the events are triggered, when you
get back on, the game doesnt recognize the objects as being present and
as a result the events that should be triggered arent triggered. I'm
thinking that when it saves, it saves the object with a specific
address, but when the game loads, it loads expecting a new/different
address and doesnt recognize the old/saved address. but thats just a
guess, im not sure if thats actually whats going on. right now, im using
marshal.dump to save and marshal.load to load. would anyone have any
thoughts on this?
