Hack description

A bug in the original game causes the enemy encounter rate to be much higher if the player is running down and/or left.

This patches fixes that and also allows the player to modify the encounter rate to double or halve it.

See the README for more details.

Someone hacked LoD, hooray!	Chronosplit	2016-10-26	Version 1.0
First time I've ever seen a hack of this title. Anyway, the encounter rate is often a gripe among players so I'm really happy to see this happen. I could've sworn this was happening but I had always thought that it was just my impatience making it feel like encounters were quicker. I highly recommend this bugfix, it'll make your life easier.
