A player moving into the room, a permanent map object being

I create a dynamic room object as needed. If they drop something
in it the dropped thing gets cleaned up with the room eventually.

I got some interesting feedback about how the dynamic map stuff
has 'been done' etc. I don't think I was ever under the impression
that it hadn't. I am sure that none of us is truly put off by someone
else having coded a version of something you are working on
previously. I for one do most of my great hacks for the hell of it.
Besides, mine will be cooler. :)
The reason for doing this is manyfold, but my favorite one is that
I really want to make a random dungeon generator. A huge 30
level deep dungeon or something that's different every reboot.
