NAME

       greed - eat a game field until you run out of moves

SYNOPSIS

       greed [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       The object of Greed is to erase as much of the screen as possible by moving around in a grid of numbers. To move your cursor, simply use
       your arrow keys or the the 'hjklyubn' keys or your numberic Your location is signified by the @ symbol.

       When you move in a direction, you erase N number of grid squares in that direction, N being the first number in that direction. Your score
       reflects the total number of squares eaten.

       Greed will not let you make a move that would have placed you off the grid or over a previously eaten square. If no valid moves exist, your
       game ends.

       Other Greed commands are 'Ctrl-L' to redraw the screen, 'p' to toggle the highlighting of the possible moves, and 'q' to quit.

       The only ommand line option to Greed is '-s' to output the high score file.

ENVIRONMENT

       Greed will detect color curses(3) support at compilation time. If you have it, Greed will generate the board in color, one color to each of
       the digit values. This will also enable checking of an environment variable GREEDOPTS to override the default color set, which will be
       parsed as a string of the form:

		<c1><c2><c3><c4><c5><c6><c7><c8><c9>[:[p]]

       where <cn> is a character decribing the color for digit n. The color letters are read as follows:

		b = blue,
		g = green,
		c = cyan,
		r = red,
		m = magenta,
		y = yellow,
		w = white.

       In addition, capitalizing a letter turns on the A_BOLD attribute for that letter.

       If the string ends with a trailing :, letters following are taken as game options. At present, only 'p' (equivalent to an initial 'p'
       command) is defined.

BUGS

       This really ought to be an X game, but that would have been too much like work.

ROBOTS(6)							 BSD Games Manual							 ROBOTS(6)

NAME

     robots -- fight off villainous robots

SYNOPSIS

     robots [-Aajnrst] [maximum] [scorefile]

DESCRIPTION

     robots pits you against evil robots, who are trying to kill you (which is why they are evil).  Fortunately for you, even though they are
     evil, they are not very bright and have a habit of bumping into each other, thus destroying themselves.  In order to survive, you must get
     them to kill each other off, since you have no offensive weaponry.

     Since you are stuck without offensive weaponry, you are endowed with one piece of defensive weaponry: a teleportation device.  When two ro-
     bots run into each other or a junk pile, they die.  If a robot runs into you, you die.  When a robot dies, you get 10 points, and when all
     the robots die, you start on the next field.  This keeps up until they finally get you.

     Robots are represented on the screen by a '+', the junk heaps from their collisions by a '*', and you (the good guy) by a '@'.

     The commands are:
     h	     move one square left
     l	     move one square right
     k	     move one square up
     j	     move one square down
     y	     move one square up and left
     u	     move one square up and right
     b	     move one square down and left
     n	     move one square down and right
     .	     (also space) do nothing for one turn
     HJKLBNYU
	     run as far as possible in the given direction
     >	     do nothing for as long as possible
     t	     teleport to a random location
     w	     wait until you die or they all do
     q	     quit
     ^L      redraw the screen

     All commands can be preceded by a count.

     If you use the 'w' command and survive to the next level, you will get a bonus of 10% for each robot which died after you decided to wait.
     If you die, however, you get nothing.  For all other commands, the program will save you from typos by stopping short of being eaten.  How-
     ever, with 'w' you take the risk of dying by miscalculation.

     Only five scores are allowed per user on the score file.  If you make it into the score file, you will be shown the list at the end of the
     game.  If an alternative score file is named on the command line, that file will be used instead of the standard file for scores.	The score
     file must be created empty beforehand, e.g. with touch(1).  If the argument maximum, which must be a number, is provided when a score file is
     first used, the value given will be used as the maximum number of scores to keep per user instead of the default five.  This value is a prop-
     erty of the score file and cannot be changed later.

     The options are

     -A      Auto-bot mode.  Lets the game play itself.

     -a      Advance into the higher levels directly, skipping the lower, easier levels.

     -j      Jump, i.e., when you run, don't show any intermediate positions; only show things at the end.  This is useful on slow terminals.

     -n      Increase the number of games played by one; that is, automatically choose to play again one time per usage of this option.

     -r      Play in real time; that is, if you do nothing for a few seconds the game will assume you meant to do nothing and move the robots.

     -s      Don't play, just show the score file.

     -t      Teleport automatically when you have no other option.  This is a little disconcerting until you get used to it, and then it is very
	     nice.
