   This game took second place in our CodeQuest programming contest.  Scott is
one of the hottest programming talents in our present crop of submitters, and we
have several other programs of his planned for future issues.

   Kingdom of Kroz is a multi-level exploration game.  You wander around the
screen picking up useful objects and avoiding monsters.  Various kinds of
objects, both good and bad, exist throughout the caverns, each represented by a
different symbol on the screen.  The first time you run into an object, its
nature is explained on the screen, so you're not left "in the dark" about what
some symbol means.

   The two most important objects are gems () and whips (ô).  Gems can be
thought of as your life force; each monster attack causes you to lose one or
more, and once they're all gone, the next monster kills you.  Whips let you lash
out at whatever is in adjacent cells, killing monsters and knocking down weak
walls.

   Other items include teleportation spells, "slow time" spells that let you
move faster than the monsters for a while, and the somewhat-peculiar
"invisibility" spell which makes you invisible to yourself while the monsters
see you as easily as ever.  (You get lots of points in exchange for incurring
this.)  When you're ready to go on to the next level, staircases lead you down.
Sometimes, however, you must first find the key to unlock the door.

   Can you make it to the deepest depths of the dungeon, where it is rumored
great treasure lies?  If you do, let me know what's out there; I haven't made it
that far myself!
