Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make
sense. Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once
you know what to do.

The game includes a tutorial. The solution assumes you play with the tutorial on and follow its
advice for the opening moves.

Your tally of seashells is shown in parentheses as +A=B, where A is number of seashells acquired and
B is cumulative number of seashells acquired.
