Controls

• Use the arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to move the player character.
• Press the Escape key to exit the game.

Player States

The player character can be in three different states:

1. Happy: Represented by the character ('-'). The default state of the player when the game starts.
2. Excited: Represented by the character ('^-^'). When the player eats certain food, it becomes faster and changes to this state.
3. Sick: Represented by the character ('(X_X)'). If the player eats specific food, it becomes sick and freezes for a short time.

Food

• The game displays various food items represented by strings such as @@@@@, $$$$$, and #####.
• The player needs to move over the food items to eat them and change their appearance.

Game Mechanics

• The game starts with the player character in its default "Happy" state.
• The food items appear at random positions on the console window.
• As the player character moves over the food items, it consumes them.
• Consuming different types of food changes the appearance and behavior of the player character.
• Eating specific food items can make the player character faster or make it freeze temporarily.
• The game continues until the player decides to exit or the console window is resized.
