Small text based maze game

Blocks - a small tty based games using ncurses =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Written by marc welz rather kluged by marc welz - Redistribution is subject to the GNU public license.

Notes

Good idea to restrict file names to 20 chars.

The editor tries to fill the entire screen - so if you write a level on a big screen, you will not be able to play it on a small one. And remember to save the game you are editing before exiting.

Probably contains bugs - but if I knew what they were they would not be there …

Thanks

A big THANK YOU goes to Joey Hess jeh22@conell.edu who contributed the pyramid level, wrote the man pages for the game and pointed out a couple of minor bugs.
