Aha! Someone who has a clue how to play and some actual skill!

Answer me this: How the *hell* do you avoid running out of food? I seem
to starve in no time flat (unless I hack the code to reduce the rate of
energy consumption, but that's cheating).

(I admit it, I'm crap at computer games. All of them. Even Nethack,
which as it doesn't require good coordination I once had hopes I'd not
be unimaginably bad at. I don't think I've ever successfully finished
*anything* except for Zork I/II/III and hitchhiker's, and *that*
was so long ago that the Commodore 64 was a new machine.)
