greed [options]

greed is a terminal-based puzzle game where players move through a grid collecting numbers. Moving in any direction consumes that many squares, and the goal is to clear as many as possible.
The player uses arrow keys or vi-style hjkl keys to move. Strategy involves planning moves to avoid getting stuck. The game ends when no valid moves remain.
