The goal of the game is to make it all the way throught the golden gate. Your character is a ball. It only has 3 lives. You lose a life when you run into an object (ice cream or lolipop) You are limited to taking 500 steps to reaching the goal. You have 60 seconds. Get to the gate before time runs out!
Note: The lights are initially off to throw the player off. You will have to run pass the light switch (which looks like a spotlight) near your spawn point to light the game up.

Concepts
Collision Detection
You can't walk throught a solid object in real life. Each time the game randomly generates the obstacle objects, the game would know what space is being occupied in the game. If the ball happens to run into that occupied space, then the game would know that the character has ran into an object, causing you to lose. This also applies to the world boundary so that the character will not be able to leave the game.
Lighting
The game only uses one light source. The light starts near the starting point of the character. The light is important because it simulates the real life environment, allowing the player to visualize better because the objects appear 3D to the human eye.
User Interaction
The game is based on terminal interation as well as in-game interaction (displaying the character lives, steps, and timer).
The game closes when you pass through the gate or fail to do so. A summary of your game will be displayed on the terminal after the game ends.
The game will also assign you a Player ranking: CHEATER, Pro, Veteran, Newbie, and Lowest of the low, depending on how fast the player finishes the game (makingit throught the gate).
