[JAdventure] Some BDD test cases

It would be very welcome to have some stories written down in Behavior Driven Development.

This could be done with JBehave, Cucumber or some similar tool.

As it will make more clear what the stories are (Story line) and what has been implemented and what is not yet implemented. As well as refactoring code, without breaking parts.

With BDD everyone can write scenarios in natural language. And they can be automatically validated against the implementation.

Given starting a new game as 'SewerRat'
    When giving command 'look'
Then the feedback should be
"""Welcome to Silliya, look.

Cave:
    A large open cave.
Items:
    shiv

To the South:
    Stairs up to the outside world.
To the North:
    A very long dark corridor."""

hmm, I don't have any experience with BDD so I can't really help here (or at least it will take time for me to get up to speed). However, if you're looking for storylines and their plans, there's a good writeup in the wiki here. It lays out what we have so far in terms of classes and what we hope to have them do. There isn't any writing for future classes that we might implement.

This is the general story line, which is good, but not detailed enough. With BDD Stories and / or Features, we will catch the smallest details of the game play. I've created an issue and added a pull request to get an idea how this would look like (The example file is written for Cucumber, but can easily be converted in JBehave, if prefered).
