inventory.add("paper");
Room1.room1.remove("paper");
getStatus();
Room1.getStatus();
}

reStart();

It (sorta) does what I want it to do....
But for for some reason I have to type for example "take book" like four times before it actually prints the outcome.
And for each input it seems to be random as to how many times I have to type it in before it actually prints it.
Just to clarify so you can help me better...
the reStart() method just calls the start() method again.
The getStatus() methods from both the Room1 class and Player class just print their equivalent Array list.
This is the GetInput() method...

BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print(prompt);
System.out.flush();

return stdin.readLine();
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Error; " + e.getMessage();
}

If there is more info you need to help, let me know....

I am very new to java coding and I am learning, this is a text adventure I am working on....
