Bool alive : true;
Hex tractor_color: #0F0;
List inventory : ["book", "shield", "potion"];

DisplayLog("Name: " + player);
DisplayLog("___________________________");
DisplayLog("score: " + score);
DisplayLog("___________________________");
DisplayLog("alive: " + alive);

DisplayLog("_______inventory_______");
for(Int i : 0; i < inventory.count; i += 1){
    DisplayLog("--------------------");
    DisplayLog(inventory[i]);
