Super Wumpus Land

This is the reference distribution of Super Wumpus Land, a computer game by Chris Pressey, based on a legendary game by Gregory Yob.

It contains original version of Super Wumpus Land, written as a Perl script, in the scripts directory.

It also contains a conversion in Javascript, for playing in a web browser, in the impl/swl.js directory. This implementation uses modules from yoob.js to simulate the terminal in an HTML5 canvas.
