(** This module contains all data relevant to parsing. The commands within here
    are used throughout the modules for taking player input. *)

    to remove minor typing errors from and interpret in the game*)

(** [remove_blanks parsbl] removes any white space from a player input,
    a parsable represented by [parsbl] *)
val remove_blanks : parsable -> string

(** [parse parsbl] converts a parsable that has had its white space removed
    into a string that can be interpretted by the game *)

(* [string_catcher s message] checks if strnig [s] can be transformed into an int. If
   not, the user is prompted again with [message] *)
val string_catcher : string -> string -> int 

(* [for_int_output message] takes the message that is to be displayed to a 
   player [message] and takes care of things like the help menu and quitting
   in addition to parsing the user input. Used when the output is meant to 
   be an int*)
