This game is based on the game "Hunt the Wumpus" from 1972 at MIT. If you throw the spear and hit, you win! If not, the hunter is defenseless to the yeti and you lose. If you can figure out the location of the yeti, tell the hunter to throw the spear in that direction! You only have one chance to get this right. If you walk hunter into the yeti, the yeti attacks the hunter and the hunter dies.If you walk the hunter into an open pit, the hunter dies.The game will give you no clue as to where you are. If you walk the hunter into a bat, the bat will pick up the hunter and carry the hunter off into a different part of the cave.These clues are critical to playing the game. As you explore the cave, the game will give you messages such as "The hunter does not sense anything nearby" or the game will indicate if the hunter can hear bats, feel the draft of an open pit, or smell the yeti. The hunter can't see anything in the cave but still has other senses. Randomly scattered around the cave are 2 enormous bats, 2 open pits, and 1 terrifying yeti. You can also give a direction by itself and the hunter will move in that direction.
