This file is required for every Smash game. At minimum, it must contain a 'g' command to set the starting location of the player. Frequently it's also nice to have a 'p' command that displays some initial text. That's precisely what we have here. Other things you might have a need for in the start file is to set the value of global variables or timers. All variables and timers start out with a value of zero, but if you need any to start out with some other value, here is a good place to do it.

	It also serves to demonstrate the type of adventures and puzzles you
	will encounter.  Enjoy!
