## To build:
make all
```sh
make all
```
NOTE: the purpose of this entry is to escape the dungeon via the compiler line
where you get messages as compiler errors. Depending on the compiler line you
will get different error messages and one compiler line will make you win the
game!

## To run:
./westley
```sh

## Judges' comments
NOTE: your terminal should be set to 80 columns, 8 character tabs, and
wraparound.
## Try:
But for something more interesting try compiling it with
different cc arguments. For example:
cc -Describe -Door westley.c
cc -Describe -Drain westley.c
```sh
cc -Describe -Door westley.c
cc -Describe -Drain westley.c
```
## Judges' comments:
Not all compiler errors are bad.

## Author's comments
[Cody Boone Ferguson](/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson) converted the spoiler
compiler options to be compiler commands and added a script
[spoiler.sh](spoiler.sh) to automate the spoiler commands provided by the author
to make it easier to see the game in action. Thank you Cody! To use:
This program, in accordance with the rules, compiles into a legal
C program without human intervention. However, it simply compiles
into "main(){}", which does nothing and exits, so you don't need
to actually compile the program.
```sh

This program is a simple adventure game which uses only C preprocessor
error messages (for missing #include files) as output. To begin,

This will fail, producing an error message for a missing #include
file as the opening description. Your terminal should be set for
80 columns, 8 character tabs, and wraparound, as there is no way
to reliably output newlines. You should see something like this

Note that the game has no real state information; you can type these
commands in any order, at any time. Also note that word order is
unimportant.
