WUMP(6) BSD Games Manual WUMP(6) NAME
wump -- hunt the wumpus in an underground cave SYNOPSIS
wump [-h] [-a arrows] [-b bats] [-p pits] [-r rooms] [-t tunnels] DESCRIPTION
The game wump is based on a fantasy game first presented in the pages of People's Computer Company in 1973. In Hunt the Wumpus you are placed in a cave built of many different rooms, all interconnected by tunnels. Your quest is to find and shoot the evil Wumpus that resides elsewhere in the cave without running into any pits or using up your limited supply of arrows. The options are as follows: -a Specifies the number of magic arrows the adventurer gets. The default is five. -b Specifies the number of rooms in the cave which contain bats. The default is three. -h Play the hard version -- more pits, more bats, and a generally more dangerous cave. -p Specifies the number of rooms in the cave which contain bottomless pits. The default is three. -r Specifies the number of rooms in the cave. The default cave size is twenty rooms. -t Specifies the number of tunnels connecting each room in the cave to another room. Beware, too many tunnels in a small cave can eas- ily cause it to collapse! The default cave room has three tunnels to other rooms. While wandering through the cave you'll notice that, while there are tunnels everywhere, there are some mysterious quirks to the cave topol- ogy, including some tunnels that go from one room to another, but not necessarily back! Also, most pesky of all are the rooms that are home to large numbers of bats, which, upon being disturbed, will en masse grab you and move you to another portion of the cave (including those housing bottomless pits, sure death for unwary explorers). Fortunately, you're not going into the cave without any weapons or tools, and in fact your biggest aids are your senses; you can often smell the rather odiferous Wumpus up to two rooms away, and you can always feel the drafts created by the occasional bottomless pit and hear the rustle of the bats in caves they might be sleeping within. To kill the wumpus, you'll need to shoot it with one of your magic arrows. Fortunately, you don't have to be in the same room as the crea- ture, and can instead shoot the arrow from as far as three or four rooms away! When you shoot an arrow, you do so by typing in a list of rooms that you'd like it to travel to. If at any point in its travels it cannot find a tunnel to the room you specify from the room it's in, it will instead randomly fly down one of the tunnels, possibly, if you're real unlucky, even flying back into the room you're in and hitting you!

THERION(1) General Commands Manual THERION(1) NAME
Therion -- program to draw cave surveys SYNOPSIS
therion [-q] [-L] [-l log-file] [-s source file] [-p search path] [-g|-u] [-i] [-d] [-x] [config-file] therion [-h|--help] [-v|--version] [--print-encodings] [--print-tex-encodings] [--print-init-file] DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents Therion and provides an overview of the package. Therion is a program that processes Therion data files to produce cave surveys. The data files are usually .th files which contain survey data (very similar to survex .svx files), .th2 files which contain drawing data, and thconfig files which control the data files to be used and the maps to be output. Therion outputs .pdf and .svg files for drawings, Survex .3d files, Compass .PLT files and VRML files for 3D models. Therion uses a number of helper programs to do its job. Survex is used to process the centreline data, MetaPost is used to draw cave sym- bols, and pdfTeX generates the final maps. In order to make the entering of drawing data practical, and to make the editing of survey files easier, a graphical editor XTherion is included. This also includes a 'compiler' function which runs Therion on the data to produce output. This is implemented using Tcl/Tk. The Therion data files describe the cave as text in terms of objects so the corresponding graphical representations are only inserted at output generation time. This means that a survey can be produced using whichever symbol set you require by specifying the relevant set of MetaPost macros. Currently the UIS symbol set is supported. Multiple languages and character sets are supported -- currently ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-7, UTF-8, ASCII and CP1250. ARGUMENTS
therion takes only one argument -- a config-file. If no file is specified then the default thconfig file in the current directory will be used. A new default file can be created using the -g option. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ("--"). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see The Therion Book. -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --version Show version information. -q Quiet mode -- minimise output. -g Generate a new configuration file. This will be the given config-file if specified, or thconfig in the current directory if not. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. -i Ignore comments when writing (-g|-u) configuration file. -L Do not create a log-file. Normally all messages are written into a therion.log file. -l log-file Change the name of the log file. -p search-path This option is used to set the search path (or list of paths, separated by colon), which therion will use to find its source files (if it doesn't find them in the working directory). -q Run therion in quiet mode. It will print only warning and error messages (to STDERR). --print-encodings Print a list of all supported encodings. --print-init-file Print a default initialisation file. For more details see the Initialisation section in the Appendix of the Therion Book. -s Set the name of the source file. -u Upgrade the configuration file. -d Turn on debugging mode. The current implementation creates a temporary directory named thTMPDIR (in your system temporary direc- tory) and does not delete any temporary files. SEE ALSO
