I am having trouble adding an item that will increase a player's energy in my BlueJ game. At the bottom of the createRooms() method in my game class I have added several items to rooms. At that point I tried setting boolean newEnergy equal to true. If the player types "use", they will receive 10 energy if boolean newEnergy is equal to true. I am not sure how I would set boolean newEnergy to true only when the energy item is still in the room.
/**
