I think it would be better to have the subfolder inside the zip file because although sometimes it is a bit annoying to go like hello_adventure/hello_adventure/adventure.bat, it is much worse to make a big mess in the current folder that you then have to piece together and clean up.

how did you get the mouse to work? That is so cool. I liked the apothacary and lvl2 dungeon art that was nice. I guess you are using the LowLevelKeyboardHandler to get input while not focussed? That is annoying why do you do that is it so that you can accept input while text is highlighted or something? 

It is surprisingly graphical for a CLI game. I died to a bat on level 3. Nice game, but it did seem to lag or freeze up or just not receive input sometimes, weird.

Thanks for playing.  Yeah it's a bit of a mess.  I used GetKeyState in windows.h polled every frame, so if a key is pressed and released within the same frame, the input would be dropped (it didn't happen to me in testing, or I'd have jacked up the frame rate).  The reason is that the traditional method of getting messages in windows.h doesn't work in a console window and getch() would have driven people nuts.
