🎯 Extend the world

Once the REPL is running, try adding your own rooms. Edit the rooms vector in World::new():

Room {
    id: 4,
    name: "Dark Forest".into(),
    description: "Twisted trees block out the sky. Eyes gleam in the shadows.".into(),
    exits: vec![("south".into(), 2)],  // connects back to Market Street
},

Don't forget to add a matching exit in the room you want to connect from!
