The room only holds a pointer to the function it is supposed to call
struct room_data
{
SPECIAL(*func);
};
Functions by default only have on memory address, and therefore only take
memory for itself one time. The room has to know which function to call,
however, and this pointer points to the function name's address in memory
so it knows which function to call.
