To test the game, travel around the world collecting gold, silver, and copper coins, and watch the total increase. You will have to watch out, though. The AI beasts will track you and shoot you if they spot you. Like the saying goes, you can run, but you'll only die tired! You can grab a crossbow and shoot back. In some of the huts you will find first-aid kits that will patch you up. One more thing—don't fall off cliffs. Not healthy.

As an exercise, investigate how you would enable a game timer to limit how much time you have to gather up the coins. Also, display a message if your score exceeds a certain value.

Have fun!
