NAME
       ninvaders - ncurses version of space invaders

SYNOPSIS
       ninvaders

DESCRIPTION
       In  short,  this  is a space invaders game written for the ncurses terminal control library.  It uses ASCII art to draw everything, and you
       can play it just about anywhere.  Space Invaders over dialup!

       To play the game, simply run the program.  You will be placed in the game arena with a large block of aliens.  To move your gun pod (at the
       bottom of the screen) use the left and right arrow keys.  To shoot, press space.  You can move faster if you hold the arrow keys down.

       The  object  of	the  game  is to shoot all the aliens (the multi-coloured moving things) before they reach the ground.	Since these aliens
       aren't friendly (which is why you're trying to stop them) they will shoot back.	Dodge the descending bullets or hang about under the large
       stationary blocks for cover.
