It took me longer then it should have to get the acquisition of keys and chests down. While I have them spawn similarly to enemies and had the randomization code down, I had a harder time getting it to work at first because I would forget to change values or place the code in another spot where it would not work. There was also a kind of bug where if you press fire over a chest or key it would send you to the boss room.
Now if you walk past a key you pick it up. If you have a key you can choose to open a chest by pressing fire. I will now program the possibilities of opening a chest which will result in either some good things or bad things such as more health, extra life, or spawning of enemies, loss of all keys, or even randomize the boss door X coordinate or Y coordinate.
