    2) Do potions/items only last for the day? They seem to disappear the next day so was not sure if this was intentional or not.

    I love the idea of potions -- I think the only change I would possibly consider is to limit to 1 item usage per battle. I guess this depends on what other others you include but i think it would keep things fair and balanced vs easy refill of health mid battle.

    I remember playing Rogue on my XT back 30 years ago... you'd find potions
    and often have to drink them to find out what they were. You could name
    them and, if you found another like it later, it would have that same name.

    They usually restored some hit points or gave you a higher amount of
    experience but, sometimes, they were not so great. :)

    That is interesting idea. Pretty cool how back then it would let you name
    them vs just identifying them with a predetermined name.

    Right now, there are four different potions. They are each named 'POTION1', 'POTION1000', etc. I wanted to avoid there being any confusion as to what they did. :)

    I'd also like to put into the item viewer, a way to view what all of the
    items will give you, either if you use them or sell them.
