XNibbles is a game for X11R6. It is conceptually based on
|
|
|
|
|
the nibbles program that came with qbasic for MS-DOS and was
|
|
|
|
|
in turn very similar to the game RunRound found on some XTs.

Nibbles is actually written in C++, and shares no code
|
|
|
|
|
with qbasic nibbles. For those of you who have played the
|
|
|
|
|
game before, you can attest to the fact that it is extremely
|

|
|
|
fun and addictive.

The goal of the game is to work your way through the levels,
|
|
|
|
|
which become harder and harder. You do this by running
|
|
|
|
|
your snake over the blue diamonds. For every 10 diamonds you
|
|
|
|
|
acquire, you move up one level. Other diamonds will increase
|
|
|
|
|
your length, give you an extra life, or give you points.
