About the Story
You play as the hero, Jason of the Argo, tasked by Pelias to restore the GOLDEN FLEECE. The final guardian of the FLEECE, the Great Dragon, attacked you but thanks to Medea's magic locket, you're in the astral plane instead of Hades.

Far less known than its namesake from the same SpeedIF competition, this easy one-puzzle game may still prove a pleasant bite-sized diversion. The way the PC moves through the game world is of a particular interest; and "ASCII" of the title plays here a somewhat bigger role than in the game by J. Robinson Wheeler.
After figuring out how to win, for an additional challenge, try to win in as few moves as possible. I managed to find a solution in 42 moves; I wonder if there's a shorter one.

The following polls include votes for ASCII and the Argonauts: Astral Plane:Games with non-standard directions by Andrew Schultz
I'm wondering about games (primarily parser) with weird directions beyond NW/SW/SE/NE, up, down or inside/outside. I like the example in the Inform docs (Charles S. Roberts) about hexagonal directions but have no clue how to go about...
