Our hero now has health (albeit as a text value) and random spawning Gelatinous Cube’s!

The Gelantious Cube cannot be attacked with normal weapons, it just consumes them. The only way to defat a gelantious cube is that it will smear our hero, reducing his health ! As the cubes are randomly spwaning the are a dangerous collective ! The cubes, unlike the monsters, do not follow a path, they move randomly square to square, so our hero stands a chance of avoiding them by quick movements !

Snippets of the relevant cube creation, movement and consume are given below, as is the food and drink routines to increase health, please note this is almost pseudo code as they are not within their procedures.
