 A 1024 byte c64 minigame for the 2005 MiniGame Compo
 
     Your kingdom is under attack by an invading army
     In order to raise an army of your own you will
     need to gather gold. Under constant attack this
     may prove hard as your meager troop must at the
     same time defend your castle. If as much as one
     enemy unit reaches the castle; your kingdom is
     forfeit.

 How to play:

     Use Joystick in Port2

     When the game starts, you'll find your castle in
     the approx. center of the random generated map.
     On each side of the castle you have got two
     knights, eagerly awaiting your command.
     You control a cursor that'll allow you to select
     your knights, todo so simply place the cursor
     above one of them and click the fire button.
     The cursor should turn black to indicate that
     you've selected a knight. Now you'll need to
     move the cursor to a location where you wish
     your knight to move (preferably where there lies
     gold) click the fire button and he'll be off.

     In the four corners of the map are the enemy,
     they move slowly but surely towards your castle.
     In order to defeat an enemy you have to move one
     of your knights right above it, keep in mind that
     the enemy tries to avoid your knights by going
     around them. When an enemy gets slain he will
     respawn in his corner, buying you some time to
     collect some more gold. You don't have to worry
     about your knights meeting their doom in a
     battle, they may be few but the enemy can't
     defeat them.

     If you find trees to be in your way, you can cut
     them down by moving one of your knights right
     above the specific one that you wish to be
     cut. But be aware that making a path shorter for
     yourself may also make it shorter for the enemy,
     whilst moving much slower they will always find
     the shortest path to the castle. The enemy may
     also chop down trees but only if they are unable
     to find a path to the castle.

     If an enemy reaches your castle the game is over
     And the frame will turn red indicating so.

     Your score of golden loot is displayed beneath
     the game window. 

     To restart the game when over, simply press the
     space key.

 This game was coded and tested on a PAL system,
 it should play fine albeit a tad faster on a
 NTSC system.
