KING is a short roguelike game. It has three difficulty levels. You are some sort of strange creature (described at the beginning of the game), and you have to collect enough stones to become the king (50 stones for easy, 100 for normal, 150 for hard). It took me less than a day to write this program.

Instructions
Here is a copy of the instructions from the game:
You are some sort of strange creature. It will describe you at the start. To win this game you have to collect the number of stones that it tells you to collect to become king, depending on the difficulty level. To do so, you have to collect the stones on the level and find the key to go down stairs. Once you collect enough stones you will become the king. You can also use potions. The effects of the potions are unknown at the beginning of the game, but once you use them, you will automatically identify them as they are being used. In addition, there are also opponents in this dungeon which will try to kill you. You will also get hungry sometimes, in which case you have to eat or else you will starve to death.
Keyboard commands:
H or 4 = Move left L or 6 = Move right J or 2 = Move down K or 8 = Move up Y or 7 = Move up/left U or 9 = Move up/right B or 1 = Move down/left N or 3 = Move down/right I or 5 = Pass your turn O or * = Eat a slime mold P or / = Quaff a potion T or 0 = Throw a stone , or - = Select previous potion . or + = Select next potion ; or ENTER = Go down stairs (only if you have a key)
To attack someone, just attempt to move into them.
