/*
Program Name: maze
Process: Does the following according to spec:
         Develop a text-based maze game where the user will navigate through to 
         find the exit. Your game will do the following:
           ● Welcome the user to the Text Maze Game (or rename it something else)
           ● Explain the goal to the user (leave the maze).
           ● Create a 3x3 array that will represent the maze where each cell is a room.
           ● Define the starting point and the exit point in the maze/array.
           ● Prompt the user to move through the maze using “N” for north, 
             “S” for south, “E” for east, and “W” for west.
           ● Make sure the user can’t leave the boundary of the array.
           ● Display a message that congratulates them for finding the exit.
