2. Copy the path to the directory the game was unzipped to. In the terminal, type `cd`, then a space, then paste the path to the directory and press enter. For example, if the game was unzipped to `/home/summon`, the command would be `cd /home/summon`.
3. To run the game, type `./summon` and press enter. (If you get a permission error, make sure the `summon` file has executable permissions. You can add this by running the command `chmod +x summon`.)
This game was written in Go, using the Bubble Tea framework. It also uses the go-openai library to call the OpenAI API.
