Creating an Inventory

[johnny blaze]

How can I create an inventory like, for example, the one in Pico's School (http://www.newgrounds.com/pico/pico.html)

[Olorin]

just make a bunch of variables like item1, item2, item3
and when you pick up the first thing set item1 to "baseball bat" or something like that. There are lots of ways to do it, you could also make a variable for each item and set it to "on" or "off" or something like that.

when it comes to variables i haven't got a clue, so how exactly would i struture your solution, keeping in mind the item in hidden in a bin?
