How to play
You are the hunter. Somewhere out there: one Wumpus, three bottomless pits, two colonies of
super bats. You have five arrows and no second life.
- Move one room at a time, up, down, left or right. Rock will not let you
through.
- Listen. A draft means a pit next door, flapping means bats, and the
stench means the Wumpus is close — overwhelming stench means it is right there.
- Shoot in a straight line. The arrow flies until it hits rock or leaves the
cave, and it kills the Wumpus if the line passes through it.
- Miss and the Wumpus wakes up, and a woken Wumpus wanders. If it wanders into
you, you are lunch.
- Bats do not kill you. They pick you up and put you down somewhere else, which
is often worse.
- Score is 100 for the kill and 100 for every arrow you still have.
