1df930be7SderaadtWelcome to the game of Hunt the Wumpus. 2df930be7Sderaadt 3*40c957bfSderaadtThe Wumpus typically lives in a cave of twenty rooms, where each room 4*40c957bfSderaadtis connected by three tunnels to the other rooms in the cavern. Caves 5*40c957bfSderaadtmay vary, however, depending on options specified when starting the game. 6*40c957bfSderaadtThe cave may contain one-way passages. 7df930be7Sderaadt 8*40c957bfSderaadtThe game has the following hazards for intrepid adventurers to wend their 9df930be7Sderaadtway through: 10df930be7Sderaadt 11df930be7Sderaadt Pits -- If you fall into one of the bottomless pits, you find yourself 12df930be7Sderaadt slung back out on the far side of the Earth and in very poor 13df930be7Sderaadt shape to continue your quest since you're dead. 14df930be7Sderaadt 15df930be7Sderaadt Bats -- As with any other cave, the Wumpus cave has bats in residence. 16df930be7Sderaadt These are a bit more potent, however, and if you stumble into 17df930be7Sderaadt one of their rooms they will rush up and carry you elsewhere in 18df930be7Sderaadt the cave. 19df930be7Sderaadt 20df930be7Sderaadt Wumpus -- If you happen to walk into the room the Wumpus is in you'll find 21df930be7Sderaadt that he has quite an appetite for young adventurous humans! Not 22df930be7Sderaadt recommended. 23df930be7Sderaadt 24df930be7SderaadtThe Wumpus, by the way, is not bothered by the hazards since he has sucker 25*40c957bfSderaadtfeet and is too big for the bats to lift. If you try to shoot him and miss, 26*40c957bfSderaadtthere's also a chance that he'll up and move himself into another room, 27df930be7Sderaadtthough by nature the Wumpus is a sedentary creature. 28df930be7Sderaadt 29df930be7SderaadtEach turn you may either move or shoot a crooked arrow. Moving is done 30df930be7Sderaadtsimply by specifying "m" for move and the number of the room that you'd 31df930be7Sderaadtlike to move down a tunnel towards. Shooting is done similarly; indicate 32df930be7Sderaadtthat you'd like to shoot one of your magic arrows with an "s" for shoot, 33df930be7Sderaadtthen list a set of connected room numbers through which the deadly shaft 34df930be7Sderaadtshould fly! 35df930be7Sderaadt 36*40c957bfSderaadtIf a tunnel does not exist between two consecutive rooms in the arrow's 37*40c957bfSderaadtpath, the arrow will flail about and randomly pick an existing tunnel 38*40c957bfSderaadtto continue through. You might just end up shooting yourself in the 39*40c957bfSderaadtfoot if you're not careful! On the other hand, if you shoot the Wumpus 40*40c957bfSderaadtyou've WON! 41df930be7Sderaadt 42df930be7SderaadtGood luck. 43df930be7Sderaadt 44
