Functionally its good. A few things could be tweaked to make it look better. Maybe a white $ in the gold for example, and the person arrow changing direction on the pixel "< > ^ v" also maybe allowing for monitors in code by either having a scalable map or centring the map on the monitor. Also allowing for "monitor_touch"
EDIT: oh also if you do
error( "message", 0) it will print the message with no extra details such as line number and file name.
EDIT 2:Spoiler
Idea for coins (in map.print
term.setTextColor(colors.orange)
return write('$')
when defining the player table
local player = {currentChar = '^'}
when 'w' is pressed
player.currentChar = '^'
when 's' is pressed
player.currentChar = 'v'
when 'a' is pressed
player.currentChar = '<'
when 'd' is pressed
player.currentChar = '>'
in player.print
write(player.currentChar)
just tested the arrow direction code, and it makes it look a lot better.

Well it can still be the head, just think of it as a directional head.

Neither did I until I read some code in bios.lua.

Hehe! Well done. 111 one my first try. However it is getting really boring and annoying if you get trapped in a small area. If you would increase the amount of falling blocks over time it would help to kill the player earlier instead of letting him go up and down for 50% of the game while waiting for a $ to spawn or a block blocks one more of his space ;D

Never give up! Never surrender :P/>
Wouldnt use it unless i am in a 1x1 free space xD There allways might be a chance to get one more gold. Maybe wouldnt be possible if you increase the speed of falling ceiling blocks, but whatever :D/>

Suicide key sounds nice! I hate it when I'm stuck in a 1x1 free space. Also it would be nice to have 3 levels of difficulty(easy, middle and hard). And my first score was 107
