NAME

       phear - enter the cavez of phear

SYNOPSIS

       phear [-e <level filename>] | [level name]

OPTIONS

       This program has several arguments:

       -e     Start editor instead of game on a specific level.

       level name
	      Name of the level to play, f.ex 01

       level filename
	      Filename of the level to edit. f.ex /usr/share/phear/data/levels/01

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  boulder  dash type of game, for terminals. You walk around in a ASCII underground cave system, where you need to keep clear of
       boulders falling down while you are digging through the dirt searching for diamonds.

       To play you have to know these keys:

       right -	move right

       left  -	move left

       up    -	move up

       down  -	move down

       b     -	place bomb

       t     -	detonate bombs

       q     -	leave game

       By picking up a diamond (*) you get 10 points, picking up money ($) gives you 100 points. You get one extra life for every 1000 points  you
       score.

       Move around with the arrow keys or the 2-4-8-6 keys. Press 'k' to commit suicide if you should get stuck.

       Got  the  bombs (%)? Great! Press 'b' to place them, and 't' to detonate them all at once. Note that the bombs you place will act just like
       stones, affected by gravity, rolling, and so on..

       Watch out for monsters (M) -- if they catch you, you will die. To fight back, drop stones on them or blow them up using your bombs.

       Pressing 's' will enable/disable sound, 'w' will highlight your current position.

EDITOR

       The editor has its own keys you need to know:

       0-9   -	Keys 0-9 places objects

       s     -	Saves the map

       l     -	Enables lock-mode (lets you draw continuously using the arrow-keys)

       q     -	Quits the editor

NAME

     tetris -- the game of tetris

SYNOPSIS

     tetris [-ps] [-k keys] [-l level]

DESCRIPTION

     The tetris command runs display-based game which must be played on a CRT terminal.  The object is to fit the shapes together forming complete
     rows, which then vanish.  When the shapes fill up to the top, the game ends.  You can optionally select a level of play, or custom-select
     control keys.

     The default level of play is 2.

     The default control keys are as follows:

	   j	      move left
	   k	      rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise
	   l	      move right
	   <space>    drop
	   p	      pause
	   q	      quit

     The options are as follows:

     -k      The default control keys can be changed using the -k option.  The keys argument must have the six keys in order, and, remember to
	     quote any space or tab characters from the shell.	For example:

		   tetris -l 2 -k 'jkl pq'

	     will play the default games, i.e. level 2 and with the default control keys.  The current key settings are displayed at the bottom of
	     the screen during play.

     -l      Select a level of play.

     -s      Display the top scores.

     -p      Switch on previewing of the shape that will appear next.

PLAY

     At the start of the game, a shape will appear at the top of the screen, falling one square at a time.  The speed at which it falls is deter-
     mined directly by the level: if you select level 2, the blocks will fall twice per second; at level 9, they fall 9 times per second.  (As the
     game goes on, things speed up, no matter what your initial selection.)  When this shape ``touches down'' on the bottom of the field, another
     will appear at the top.

     You can move shapes to the left or right, rotate them counterclockwise, or drop them to the bottom by pressing the appropriate keys.  As you
     fit them together, completed horizontal rows vanish, and any blocks above fall down to fill in.  When the blocks stack up to the top of the
     screen, the game is over.

SCORING

     You get one point for every block you fit into the stack, and one point for every space a block falls when you hit the drop key.  (Dropping
     the blocks is therefore a good way to increase your score.)  Your total score is the product of the level of play and your accumulated points
     -- 200 points on level 3 gives you a score of 600.  Each player gets at most one entry on any level, for a total of nine scores in the high
     scores file.  Players who no longer have accounts are limited to one score.  Also, scores over 5 years old are expired.  The exception to
     these conditions is that the highest score on a given level is always kept, so that following generations can pay homage to those who have
     wasted serious amounts of time.

     The score list is produced at the end of the game.  The printout includes each player's overall ranking, name, score, and how many points
     were scored on what level.  Scores which are the highest on a given level are marked with asterisks ``*''.
