-Welcome to the game of Hunt the Wumpus.
-
-The Wumpus typically lives in a cave of twenty rooms, with each room having
-three tunnels connecting it to other rooms in the cavern. Caves may vary,
-however, depending on options specified when starting the game.
-
-The game has the following hazards for intrepid adventurers to wind their
-way through:
-
- Pits -- If you fall into one of the bottomless pits, you find yourself
- slung back out on the far side of the Earth and in very poor
- shape to continue your quest since you're dead.
-
- Bats -- As with any other cave, the Wumpus cave has bats in residence.
- These are a bit more potent, however, and if you stumble into
- one of their rooms they will rush up and carry you elsewhere in
- the cave.
-
- Wumpus -- If you happen to walk into the room the Wumpus is in you'll find
- that he has quite an appetite for young adventurous humans! Not
- recommended.
-
-The Wumpus, by the way, is not bothered by the hazards since he has sucker
-feet and is too big for a bat to lift. If you try to shoot him and miss,
-there's also a chance that he'll up and move himself into another cave,
-though by nature the Wumpus is a sedentary creature.
-
-Each turn you may either move or shoot a crooked arrow. Moving is done
-simply by specifying "m" for move and the number of the room that you'd
-like to move down a tunnel towards. Shooting is done similarly; indicate
-that you'd like to shoot one of your magic arrows with an "s" for shoot,
-then list a set of connected room numbers through which the deadly shaft
-should fly!
-
-If your path for the arrow is incorrect, however, it will flail about in
-the room it can't understand and randomly pick a tunnel to continue
-through. You might just end up shooting yourself in the foot if you're
-not careful! On the other hand, if you shoot the Wumpus you've WON!
-
-Good luck.
