    Treasure War

Inspired by brains - write a bot that finds treasure, kills people and claims glory.
Game rules


You spawn at your stash.
You can navigate and pick up treasure which you can return to your stash for 10 points.
Players can steal treasure from your stash and you lose 10 points.
You earn 1 point for each player you kill.
When you're carrying treasure you can't attack.
You can see one tile in every direction and can move/attack to anywhere you can see.
You can make an action (attack/move/pick up treasure/drop treasure) at most once per 2 seconds. Last command wins and invalid moves will be discarded.

The Server

The server generates a tile based dungeon of size (errm)
The server "ticks" every two seconds in which you may make a move.  When the server ticks it runs the following logic

Evaluate any attacks
Kill any players that are dead
Process any moves/treasure pickups
Respawn any dead players at their stash
Send tick results

On connect/tick:
{
  you: {
    name: 'unnamed coward',
    health: 100,
    score: 0,
    carrying_treasure: false,
    stash_location: {
      x: int,
      y: int
    }
    position: {
      x: int,
      y: int
    }
  }
