Details
Use the WASD keys to move up, left, down and right. Use the '1' key to eat
an apple from your inventory. Use the '0' to quit the game. If your
terminal supports the 'keypress' package, then you can use a single
keypress as input (e.g. the up arrow key), otherwise you will have to type
at the prompt and then press 'Enter'.Use
has_keypress_support to see if 'keypress' is
supported.
Symbols used in the game are as follows:
