This version will feel more at home for those who are familiar with vi movement keys. It does not use curses so no arrow keys but the entry itself uses the old wasd movement controls. Now one can use k, h, j and l for movement. Updated .gitignore and README.md file. The file was NOT format fixed. Work on this entry was not supposed to happen yet but looking for something I came across this one and decided to make it more friendly to vi users (the wasd movement has always been a problem for me another winner in 2020 also told me that they found it difficult).

To build:
make
There is an alternate version which has controls that will make much more sense to those familiar with vi.
To use:
./prog
Try:
# Make your terminal as large as possible, possibly reduce your font size
# then...
./prog
Alternate code:
This version has the difference of moving forwards, left, backwards and right,
where instead of w, a, s and d, you can use k, h, j and l.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
# Make your terminal as large as possible, possibly reduce your font size
# then...
./prog.alt
..and maybe curse less than you might otherwise, but still probably curse (see below) :-)
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
