			Technically, I believe "const" is a C++ keyword, which is why I suggest removing "const short" for int. However, gcc in cygwin seems to have no problems compiling a C program with C++ notation, such as // for comments (which I use all over the program). However, compiling this program with an older C compiler may throw warnings or errors with C++ syntax such as "const" and "//".

			General problems to look for:

			*Rooms without any enemies; The door will never open, since the code to open the door is only checked when an enemy dies

			*Missing room arrays; will usually cause the program to exit when the missing room is entered

			*Rooms that have no way to exit; The wall prevents the player from getting to the door, or prevents the player from being able to kill all the enemies
