Caves of Time is a CLI text-based "find the relics" game.

The game moves the player through the danger-filled Caves of Time. It is the objective of the player to find six
relics and place them in his bank account.


Basic Structure and Implementation

There are six artifacts that must be delivered to the bank before 30 moves are taken.
However, there are pickups (bottles of oil) that reset the time limit on the game.
When the user picks up an item, he is unable to pick up another one until he either deposits it in the bank, if
it's a relic, or uses it, if it's a bottle of oil.

If the user runs out of oil (uses 30 moves), the game is over.

There are some one-way paths (slides, chutes, etc.) that prohibit the player from returning the way he came. These are
marked on the map as arrows.


Special Features

-A comprehensive map
-One-way streets
-Various practical puzzles and a riddle
-Race against the clock
-Two ways to win: a partial victory (escape) and a total victory (all six relics in bank)
