of the x11 based games. I'm not going to tag the originals with bsd_44_lite and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection, and I've got directory renames to deal with that way. Bleah. Submitted by: jkh

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Robots
|
|
pits you against evil robots, who are trying to kill you (which is why
|
|
they are evil).
|
|
Fortunately for you, even though they are evil, they are not very bright
|
|
and have a habit of bumping into each other, thus destroying themselves.
|
|
In order to survive, you must get them to kill each other off, since you
|
|
have no offensive weaponry.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Since you are stuck without offensive weaponry, you are endowed with one
|
|
piece of defensive weaponry: a teleportation device.
|
|
When two robots run into each other or a junk pile, they die.
|
|
If a robot runs into you, you die.
|
|
When a robot dies, you get 10 points, and when all the robots die,
|
|
you start on the next field.
|
|
This keeps up until they finally get you.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Robots are represented on the screen by a
|
|
.RB ` + ',
|
|
the junk heaps from their collisions by a
|
|
.RB ` \(** ',
|
|
and you
|
|
(the good guy)
|
|
by a
|
|
.RB ` @ '.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The commands are:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ta
|
|
.ta \w'\fBHJKLBNYU\fP\ \ 'u
|
|
\fBh\fP move one square left
|
|
\fBl\fP move one square right
|
|
\fBk\fP move one square up
|
|
\fBj\fP move one square down
|
|
\fBy\fP move one square up and left
|
|
\fBu\fP move one square up and right
|
|
\fBb\fP move one square down and left
|
|
\fBn\fP move one square down and right
|
|
\fB\&.\fP (also space) do nothing for one turn
|
|
\fBHJKLBNYU\fP run as far as possible in the given direction
|
|
\fB>\fP do nothing for as long as possible
|
|
\fBt\fP teleport to a random location
|
|
\fBw\fP wait until you die or they all do
|
|
\fBq\fP quit
|
|
\fB^L\fP redraw the screen
|
|
.sp
|
|
.fi
|
|
All commands can be preceded by a count.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you use the
|
|
.RB ` w '
|
|
command and survive to the next level, you will get a bonus of 10%
|
|
for each robot which died after you decided to wait.
|
|
If you die, however, you get nothing.
|
|
For all other commands, the program will save you from typos
|
|
by stopping short of being eaten.
|
|
However, with
|
|
.RB ` w '
|
|
you take the risk of dying by miscalculation.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Only five scores are allowed per user on the score file.
|
|
If you make it into the score file, you will be shown the list at the end
|
|
of the game.
|
|
If an alternate score file is specified, that will be used instead of the
|
|
standard file for scores.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The options are
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Don't play, just show the score file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-j
|
|
Jump,
|
|
.IR i.e. ,
|
|
when you run, don't show any intermediate positions; only show things at
|
|
the end.
|
|
This is useful on slow terminals.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
Teleport automatically when you have no other option.
|
|
This is a little disconcerting until you get used to it, and then it is
|
|
very nice.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
Advance into the higher levels directly, skipping the lower, easier levels.
