How To Play

	You, the hero. Your goal is to find the treasure and bring it back home - "Put gold here". The game is controlled by arrow keys.
	The Maziac. It wants to eat you. And if you sit idling, it will always kill you, run without a sword, it will sometimes kill you and sometimes not, run with a sword, you will always kill it.
	The treasure. This is what you want to find and bring back.
	The sword. Sword can be interchanged for treasure, you can carry either the sword or the gold.
	The prisoner shows you the shortest path either to the treasure or to the start.
	The food, replenishing your energy. If your energy on the right side drops to zero, you will die.
