Directions: The rules for the original game can be found here. Wumpus Adventure is extremely similar, and can be summarized by the following:
1) Your goal is to find the ancient treasure, and carry it safely to the exit. However, your path through the Wumpus Cave is dark. Only after moving to a new space will the path brighten. The cave is represented by a 10 x 10 grid.
2) There are a number of deadly obstacles in your way. The greatest of which is the fearsome WUMPUS. Landing on the Wumpus results in immediate death. Other obstacles include:
- Bats that transport you to a random area of the map, and disorient you.
- Bottomless Pits that cause you to fall to your death.
3) You will be alerted with a message, should an obstacle be nearby (in any of the tiles adjacent of diagonal to you). You will not be told exactly where it is.
Each game randomly generates a new Wumpus Cave. How many times can you retrieve the treasure?
Controls: Use the arrow keys to move your character. Press enter to start a new game.
