Candleclass
A candle is an item that can be set on fire for a controlled burn. Although we call this a candle, this class can be used for other types of fuel burners, such as torches and oil lanterns.
Ordinary candles are usually fire sources as well, in that you can light one candle with another once the first one is lit. To get this effect, mix FireSource into the superclass list (but put it before Candle, since FireSource is specifically designed as a mix-in class).

Properties
okayBurnMsg
the message we display when we successfully light the candle
outOfFuelMsg
The message we display when we try to light the candle and we’re out of fuel. This message can be overridden by subclasses that don’t fit the default message.
Methods
canLightWith (obj)
Determine if I can be lit with the specific indirect object. By default, we’ll allow any object to light us if the object passes the normal checks applied by its own iobjFor(BurnWith) handlers. This can be overridden if we can only be lit with specific sources of fire; for example, a furnace with a deeply-recessed burner could refuse to be lit by anything but particular long matches, or a particular type of fuel could refuse to be lit except by certain especially hot flames.
desc ( )OVERRIDDEN
Default long description describes burning status. In most cases, this should be overridden to provide more details, such as information on our fuel level.
dobjFor(BurnWith)OVERRIDDEN
“burn with” action
dobjFor(Extinguish)OVERRIDDEN
“extinguish”
sayBurnedOut ( )OVERRIDDEN
show a message when the candle runs out fuel while burning
