Nine Day Game, Day 8 - mad skillz

I am happy to say I finally got around to doing that in-game menu system for item management. That's been on the to-do list for so long it's embarassing; but it's done now, and I can move on to other things. We decided to cancel work on the options and home screens. We're in a huge time crunch for Day 9, and we've decided to switch gears and get back to focusing on building really cool, educational stuff. Windows and screens need not apply!

I also revised our design doc a bit, to account for the amount of remaining time. I cut out a lot of features that we won't have time to add. I also added in a bunch of new text to describe in more detail some of the features we have already added. Better late than never, I guess?
