The SAMPLE game shows many of 
Game-Maker's features.  A two
block high character walks in
four directions, shoots, drops
bombs, picks up items, gets
hurt, and dies.  The space bar
shoots a laser monster away
from the character.  The 'b'
key sets down bombs which
explode.  Arrow keys move the
character, as does a joystick.

The character starts with 250 
hit points and 3 lives.  The
objective is to pick up the
Book of Wisdom.  To do this,
you must fight through the 
maze.

Monsters subtract hit points, 
food adds hit points.  Most
monsters can be killed, but
some are too strong.
