###   NOTES:
###
### - This code uses a single function. I didn't use it like a function
###   and I know that this can cause problems but... Who cares? (Probably me in a week)
### - When the game prints the Elements that you have discovered, it prints the entire
###   array. This doesn't look as nice as printing each Element independantly but I got
###   lazy...
### - The code should probably tell you that your reaction did nothing. But, once again,
###   I'm lazy
### - The code has been written in such a way that you can add as many new Elements and
###   combinations later if you think the game is too easy to complete
### - I have set up an in-game achievement system. It tells you that you've reached a
###   certain milestone and gives you a quote when you do
