NAME

       tenmado - hard-core shoot 'em up game in blue-or-red world

SYNOPSIS

       tenmado [ --dump stage ] [ --full-screen ] [ --help ] [ --slow ] [ --stage stage ] [ --undump stage ] [ --undump-default ] [ --version ]

DESCRIPTION

       tenmado	is  a  vertically scrolling, late 1990s style (that is, a massive number of enemy shots against a smaller-than-it-looks spaceship)
       shoot 'em up game.  A very accurate collision detection makes it a game of dexterity.  If something looks like a triangle, it is  a  trian-
       gle, not a rectangle of similar size.

       However,  surviving  is only 20% of the game.  The main feature of tenmado is the "color chain bonus".  You can get a very big score (about
       100 times bigger than a normal enemy-destruction point) by destroying enemies of the same color successively.   It  is  easy  or  difficult
       depending on how greedy you are.

       In  the game, use cursor keys to move, press space key to shoot (auto-repeat).  A joystick is also available for move and shoot.  Note that
       you must plug the joystick before you invoke tenmado.  For more information, see the tutorial demo by choosing it  from	the  menu  in  the
       title.  Also check the README file which can be found at /usr/share/doc/tenmado/README .

OPTIONS

       --dump stage
	      Write  high  score  data to standard output and exit.  Usually you save the output in a file and later use that file as the input of
	      --undump.  stage must be between 0 and 5.  stage 0 means total score.  stage 1 -- 5 means each stage score.

       --full-screen
	      Run the game in the full screen mode.

       --help Print a help message and exit.

       --slow Run the game at the half speed.  Technically, the length of waiting between each frame is doubled.  This slows  down  everything	in
	      the  game,  including  your  ship.  The idea is to study the enemy formations for a later (normal speed) play.  The animation may be
	      rough because this option gives you only about 16 fps.  You can't enter the high score lists with this option.

       --stage stage
	      Start the game at the specified stage.  stage must be between 1 and 5.  Note that you can play only one stage  (the  specified  one)
	      and you can't enter the high score lists.

       --undump stage
	      Read  high  score data from standard input, save them and exit.  The input is usually the output of --dump.  stage must be between 0
	      and 5.  stage 0 means total score.  stage 1 -- 5 means each stage score.	Only the superuser may use this option.

       --undump-default
	      If at least one high score list is empty, read the default high score data, save them and exit.  If not, do nothing.  The main  pur-
	      pose of this option is to create high score database files at installation time so that you can set their permission.

       --version
	      Print version information, license information and the disclaimer, then exit.
