SNAKE4(6)							   Games Manual 							 SNAKE4(6)

NAME

       snake4, snake4scores - Game starring a fruit-eating snake.

SYNOPSIS

       snake4 [-hHV] [-M file] [--help] [--highscores] [--version] [--merge-highscores=file]

       snake4scores

DESCRIPTION

       The snake4 program is my fourth implementation of the snake game, written for Unix and X11. Previous versions were written for MS-DOS.

       Move  the  snake around the screen and eat food. The snake grows in length as you eat. Avoid hitting the fence, eating lethal mushrooms and
       rotten food, and biting your own tail.

       Now and then a slim-pill will bounce around. If you eat this, you will get shorter, and you will gain bonus points  for	every  length  you
       loose. The bonus is also given when a round is over.

       When food starts blinking, it's about to rot. Rotten food is poisonous, and thus uneatable. As long as it blinks, it can still be eaten.

       Oh, yes - I almost forgot: You may be visited by the evil headbanger.  Take my advice and run away from him before he hits you in the head!
       He won't stay long.

       The keys used to control the game are given at startup.

       snake4 features a site-wide highscore file. The file contains the top 200 users. Each user may appear once only in the highscore table.

       For technical reasons, snake4 connects to the X11 server before parsing options. This makes it impossible to eg. browse the highscore table
       using  -H  if  no  server  is available.  To be able to see the scores in such a case, snake4scores produces the same output as snake4 with
       option -H, but does no attempt on connecting to the X11 server.

   OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Print a usage message on standard output, and exit successfully.

       -H, --highscores
	      Dump the highscore list to standard output, and exit successfully.  Starting snake4 with the name snake4score does the  same  thing,
	      without  first connecting to the X11 server.  Note that this will possibly print more entries than the 20 or so that will fit within
	      the game startup screen.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information on standard output, then exit successfully.

       -M, --merge-highscores=file
	      Merge separate highscore file file into the default highscore file, and exit successfully. Displays the new  highscore  table.  This
	      option is for the game owner or root only.

X11 OPTIONS
       In addition to the above mentioned options, snake4 accepts the standard X11 toolkit options.
