FreeBSD graphics console (VGL) version of the famous Digger game.

HISTORY
-------
Digger was originally created by Windmill software in 1983 and released as
a copy-protected, bootable 5.25" floppy disk for the IBM PC/XT. As it
requires a genuine CGA card, it didn't work on modern PCs. In 1998 a new
version was created by Andrew Jenner which runs on all PCs with CGA or
better and, whilst retaining all the atmosphere and playability of the
original, has many new features.

In 2000 it was ported to several Unix-like architectures by Maxim Sobolev.
Currently it supports FreeBSD, using either VGL or SDL library, and Linux using
SDL library.

New port of Digger - a VGL version of the famous Digger game. AFAIK it is the fist full-blown game with VGL support ;). Very suitable it you have nothing to do while your computer assembling bits of 'make buildworld' (the game uses only about 5% CPU on my P133 laptop).
