Design and implement inventory storage.

[morgajel]

Do we want a simple json blob in a text field that gets pulled, updated and pushed? That would be the easiest and worst way to implement.

I suspect the best alternative is an inventory association table between a player (or world or storehouse?) and items, including an amount.

Did not know I couldn't assign 2 people. IMO, I think we should use some relationship to an ItemStack model.

Itemstack would be an item, an amount, a type (player, planet, etc), and a player.

Ok lets do it. Can you handle that?

Yeah sure.

@jmeyer2k I suggest an Inventory model to act as an association table between items and players; It would work the same way the Ingredients model works between Item and Item.

I thought of that, but the problem is that the table would get really big for not a very good reason as well as it would be more difficult to implement giving each player more than one inventory (planet inventories, storage, etc)

EDIT: oops, never mind, they would be the same size. And I guess we are sort of thinking of the same thing.
