From the README

This project is a rogue-like survival stealth third person dungeon crawler (that's a long name) made natively in JavaScript for the JS13K competition(2020). Your lover is missing, captured by evil creatures and locked into their lair. You grab your lamp and venture deep into the dark dungeon. You must bring her back at all costs!

To fit everything into 13k, I had to unfortunately reduce every function name to 1 letter. It might be hard to read at some places but I made sure every one of them have comments describing their original name and also what they are supposed to do.
