== Introduction ==
All game worlds have things in them.  These things include people, creatures, objects, etc.  I intend for libGamePieces to be able to support objects in a flexible and logical way.  One important thing from a programmer's and later a world developer's standpoint is the ability to create and track objects.  This will be achieved through the use of the World Object.  class lgp::World includes an element named ObjectListM. Coupled with the method getObjectById(), the programmer will be able to access objects, and manipulate them in various ways.  It's main purpose is to be able to let the programmer locate the object they are using and retrieve the basic information needed to access that object.

In practice, when an object is created it is added to the object list.  When an object is destroyed, it is removed from the object list.  Each instance of lgp::World will maintain a count of existing objects, as well as the highest Object ID that has been assigned to an object that it contains.
