Need Help with inventory

Ok so im making a new survival/adventure game sorta thing based off Minecraft for IPhone, but im having trouble with the inventory
is there a way so, when i pickup and item, it goes into the first slot available, then can be stacked and added up? or maybe just a greyed out item and when you get it a number goes up, hope someone can help me

When you collect an item and it overlaps with slot 1 actor you will need to change slot1 = full to true via a boolean.
