I decided that I may as well do LISP Game Jam after all.

But I have 3+ work-in-progress games, so clearly my ability to start, stop, ship is compromised when I make the project bigger than a command-line toy, perfectionism kicks in.

SO. I'll make a command-line toy. What's the least game I can do? THE LEAST? Some kind of Wumpus or Caves thing, right? Text-only, not even ANSI (I use stty for that, which doesn't work on Windows).

Some progress:

I now have treasures and monsters (you can detect them a room away… but which room‽)

Tomorrow I make fighting work, then I can ship, just in time.

Restricted. Scope! Lets! You! Ship!

And there we go, kill & cast work!
(ignore all the debugging cheats in [])
(also got lucky the weapons weren't destroyed, they often are)

Need to do maybe a title screen?

Will do packaging shit in a bit.
