Most misleading indentation

To build:

make

To run:

./prog

Try:

# Make your terminal as large as possible, possibly reduce your font size
# then...
./prog

Judges' remarks:

This game does not use curses, but you may end up cursing.

The code is made more difficult to read using an innovative, right justified, reverse indentation style.

Author's remarks:

Controls

  • Movement:
    w (forwards), a (left), s (backwards), d (right)
  • Fire:
    space
  • Quit:
    q
  • Pause:
    p, then use any other key to resume
   /\
  //\\
 /    \
/______\
  /\/\

Compile and run

Linux
cc -std=c99 -O3 prog.c -o prog
./prog
Windows

The only way I found to make it work is to use MSYS2. When using the MSYS2 shell you can install gcc via pacman.

cc -std=c99 -O3 prog.c -o prog
./prog.exe

High score

Score will be shown in the top left corner.
My best was 156. If you beat that I'll send you the image of a very expensive chocolate.
