Or go to that folder and execute the .exe file.

Gameplay
- 08/01/2021 - Fixed code so it passes all tests in Powershell and Visual Studio and changed the UI to look more appealing.
- 11/01/2021 - Fixed loading bug with the advanced map under new execution phase and loading it in after typing 'play' and polished the reset of variable on the replay feature.
- 12/01/2021 - Fixed bugs that messed with tests, although gold pickup doesn't work if you're on it, only works if you're next to it and updated user interface.
- 13/01/2021 - Fixed attack action where .Trim() would remove the ' ' and then replace it with no empty space so it wouldn't register attacking the monster.
- 14/01/2021 - For now if you move over the 'G' it will automatically increment gold counter but pickup stills works if next to the gold and pressing E, also ammended comments.
