 usage: grotto

 Use the arrow keys to move the player (@) through the map. You will 
 encounter monsters that will kill you. Just kill them first. The game ends
 when you die. In every level there's a stairway (>) down to the next level,
 but the monsters there will be tougher.
 
 Every 20th level you will see three persons: the wizard (W), the salesman (S)
 and the trainer (T). The Wizard will heal you for free. At the salesman you
 can buy or sell potions and aether flask and the trainer will train you skill
 so you're getting tougher. In these levels no monsters will appear.
 
 You're character has 2 attributes and 3 skills. They evolve as you use them.
 E.g when you always attack the monsters with your weapon, your strength and 
 attack skill will go up.
