Down

Down is an arcade-style racing game played in the console (or DOS prompt) where players control a "V" character navigating a vertical shaft filled with random #-obstacles.

Players move left or right using keyboard inputs to avoid walls while the screen scrolls continuously. The game allows customization through command-line arguments, such as adjusting the screen’s row count or setting a random seed to replicate obstacle patterns. The game ends when the player collides with a wall, and the final score reflects how long they survived.
