ti-82 CrASH version

The Castle Archon Plot:
You are an evil wizard trapped in a castle of light and good.  
You must use your evil black magic to destroy all that which is good.
You must collect evil coins and evil keys to make your way while stopping
to have an evil lunch when you get hungry.  Your goal is to collect the 
orbs of light so that you can turn yourself into a being of good (you’re 
tired of being evil).  However, until that day you are still an evil 
bastard and oppose all of the good and wholesome creations that surround 
you in CASTLE ARCHON!!  muhahaha...


The screen:
You are the black wizard.  There may be doors on the north, south, west,
 or east sides of the screen that will allow you to enter adjacent rooms.  
Notice treasure chests and other items around you.  The bottom of the
 screen shows how many items are in your inventory.
ky = keys, li = lives, fd = food, cn = coins, ma = magic books



Controls:
up/down/left/right - move or go through doors to other rooms
2nd - open treasure chests -(you must have keys to do this)
mode - use your magical powers -(uses  magic books)
clear - exit game
enter - pause/start game

Items to Collect:
keys - you must collect keys to open treasure chests
coins -collect 50 gold coins and you get an extra life.
magic book - you must collect these spells to use your magic missile powers
death - the very embodiment of death.  often resides in chests.  do not touch..
food - collect hot dogs to survive.  You are a very ravenous old wizard...
orb of light - you beat the level/game when you collect an orb.  


Opening Chests:
	Probably every room of the game will have several treasure chests. 
 Use keys to open them.  You may only open them from the left or right side.
You never know what you might find inside of the chests.  Could be nothing,
could be good, could be.. really bad...

Food and Hunger:
	You use up food fairly fast and must constantly collect more to 
survive.  There is no way to tell how fast you will use up food.  Some
 food is more nutritious than other food.  Just be sure to keep yourself
 stocked with plenty of it and you’ll be ok. 

About the Demo:
This is a one level beta demo of the game.  This level should be extremely
 easy to beat.  It will give you a good taste of the game though. 
 Actually, I plan to throw this level out for the completed version. 
 There’s probably a bug or two in there as well.  Be sure and report those 
 things!  

Features in Completed Version:
-Ability to destroy death
-save game
-more booby traps to kill you
-more graphics
-more varied and faster enemies
-big and weird and difficult levels
-data compression so I can make twice as big levels!
