While I did manage to get a ContainerThing class created, the next step kind of failed miserably.</p> <p><code>ContainerThing</code> was added as a descendent of the <code>Thing</code>:w class so that we can have chests and sacks; things that have to be opened and closed before user access. That all went pretty well. I did have to adapt to using <code>instanceof</code> in order to access the <code>isOpenable</code> field and the <code>open()</code> and <code>close()</code> methods. But it worked out.</p>
