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

       mancala - simple board game for human player and computer

SYNOPSIS

       mancala level-top level-bottom number-of-stones
       xmancala [-stones N]
       mancala-text

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the mancala and xmancala commands.	This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
       because the original program does not have a manual page.

       mancala runs the game in the console, while xmancala is a fancy X-interface.  mancala-text is a shell script to run mancala  in	a  console
       from the Debian menu system.

       When run as xmancala the program has no options, and should be self-explanatory.  Built in buttons and sliders control the difficulty level
       (default 4), and bring up the rules of the game.

       The console version, mancala, has no access to the rules, and the difficulty level can only be set on the command line (see  below).   When
       it  is your turn to play, you enter the letter of the cell that you want to move the stones from, A to F (case insensitive).  The rules are
       contained in the file /usr/share/doc/mancala/RULES.

OPTIONS

       When run as mancala, the program normally takes two arguments, level-top and level-bottom, one of which should be 0 to represent the  human
       player  (you), and the other should be in the range 1 to 9, to represent the skill level of the computer player.  The first argument repre-
       sents the top player, who starts.

       Alternatively, you can give a single argument or two non-zero arguments, to watch the computer playing itself, or two  zero  arguments,	to
       play against another human player on the same console.

       For  the console version, you can add a third argument to specify the number of stones per hole. For xmancala you can specify the number of
       stones per hole using the -stones N argument.

       On Debian systems, the shell script mancala-text is provided to facilitate running mancala in a console, from the Debian menu system.  This
       script  will  run  mancala  with  a difficulty level of 4, and will pause when the game is finished, to enable the player to view the final
       screen.
