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

Welcome to the game of Hunt the Wumpus.
|
|
|
|
The Wumpus typically lives in a cave of twenty rooms, with each room having
|
|
three tunnels connecting it to other rooms in the cavern. Caves may vary,
|
|
however, depending on options specified when starting the game.
|
|
|
|
The game has the following hazards for intrepid adventurers to wind their
|
|
way through:
|
|
|
|
Pits -- If you fall into one of the bottomless pits, you find yourself
|
|
slung back out on the far side of the Earth and in very poor
|
|
shape to continue your quest since you're dead.
|
|
|
|
Bats -- As with any other cave, the Wumpus cave has bats in residence.
|
|
These are a bit more potent, however, and if you stumble into
|
|
one of their rooms they will rush up and carry you elsewhere in
|
|
the cave.
|
|
|
|
Wumpus -- If you happen to walk into the room the Wumpus is in you'll find
|
|
that he has quite an appetite for young adventurous humans! Not
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
The Wumpus, by the way, is not bothered by the hazards since he has sucker
|
|
feet and is too big for a bat to lift. If you try to shoot him and miss,
|
|
there's also a chance that he'll up and move himself into another cave,
|
|
though by nature the Wumpus is a sedentary creature.
|
|
|
|
Each turn you may either move or shoot a crooked arrow. Moving is done
|
|
simply by specifying "m" for move and the number of the room that you'd
|
|
like to move down a tunnel towards. Shooting is done similarly; indicate
|
|
that you'd like to shoot one of your magic arrows with an "s" for shoot,
|
|
then list a set of connected room numbers through which the deadly shaft
|
|
should fly!
|
|
|
|
If your path for the arrow is incorrect, however, it will flail about in
|
|
the room it can't understand and randomly pick a tunnel to continue
|
|
through. You might just end up shooting yourself in the foot if you're
|
|
not careful! On the other hand, if you shoot the Wumpus you've WON!
|
|
|
|
Good luck.
