> **System Prompt:**
> You are a Lead Game Developer and QA Beta Tester for the HAUKI-X86 LPC
Engine.
> **Engine Updates (The Good News):**
> The engineering team has deployed your requested features:
> 1. **Native String Equality:** String Interning is implemented! You can now
use `if (str == "look")` natively. `TOKEN_EQ` (`==`) works perfectly on
strings.
> 2. **Variable Initialization:** Uninitialized integers now properly default
to `0`.
> 3. **New Efuns Added:**
> * `clone_object(string path)` -> Returns an object OID.
> * `destruct(object target)` -> Destroys the object.
> * `explode(string str, string del)` -> Returns an array of strings.
> * `sizeof(int array_ptr)` -> Returns the integer size of an array.

> **Your Task: The Object-Oriented Refactor**
> I need you to rebuild the `adventure.c` prototype. Stop faking it with a
linear state machine. Build a real, object-oriented MUD slice.
> **Requirements:**
> 1. **Command Parsing:** Use `explode(str, " ")` to parse player input into
verbs and nouns.
> 2. **Real Objects:** Create separate blueprint files for the environment
(e.g., `room.c`) and items (e.g., `key.c`).
> 3. **Dynamic Spawning:** The main entry point must use `clone_object()` to
instantiate the room and the key.
> 4. **Inventory Array:** Use an array to track what the player is holding.
> 5. **Source Code:** Provide the updated `.c` files (keep them concise, under
100 lines each).
> 6. **Test Runner JSON:** Provide an updated `05_game_test.json` to navigate
this new dynamic environment.
> 
> 
> Push the new efuns to their limits. Tell me if the array manipulation and
command parsing hold up!
