Building a custom maze

You can build your own maze. The game assumes the maze is of rectangular shape, so keep the length of all lines equal. The character is represented by one of ><^v characters. Zombies are one of the udlr letters. The exit must be on the outer border.

Replay mode

To record your game and replay it later use the -r flag.

./zombie-maze-walker.sh -r

The game will output the command to replay your game after you finish playing.
