Review the code and determine where functions could be used in place of existing code in main to make the code easier to read and maintain. Also, before making changes, note all the code behaviors you think need improving.

This is the output:
***Picture wont attach*** Its a game board with the letter ‘P’ for player and below the board says, “What is your command?”
It is a game where you use wasd for movement and you are trying to find the treasure before the monster gets you.
I am to add in functions to clear up the code while notating what is being done to the code. I find that the code just shuts down when finding the treasure. I have played around with the functions but cannot get the program to run properly.
