Guide

This is a tutorial for how to play my game.

Each object in the game is represented by an ASCII character.

• P: Your player. You can move with the arrow keys.
• --: A wall. Nothing can move past these.
• E: An enemy. It moves around at random. If you move into it, or it moves into you, you lose a point of health. The bigger the room is, the more enemies that can spawn.
• H: A health bonus. Collect it to restore one point of health.
• D: A door. If you walk into it, you go to a new room.

Your health meter is shown at the bottom left. Each red "H" represents a point of health. The maximum health cap is 7. If you lose all your health, the game ends.

A score counter is shown at the bottom right. Your score goes up by 1 every time you enter a door, and is reset when the game ends.
