NINVADERS(6) Games Manual NINVADERS(6)NAME
ninvaders - ncurses version of space invaders
SYNOPSIS
ninvaders
DESCRIPTION
In short, this is a space invaders game written for the ncurses terminal control library. It uses ASCII art to draw everything, and you
can play it just about anywhere. Space Invaders over dialup!
To play the game, simply run the program. You will be placed in the game arena with a large block of aliens. To move your gun pod (at the
bottom of the screen) use the left and right arrow keys. To shoot, press space. You can move faster if you hold the arrow keys down.
The object of the game is to shoot all the aliens (the multi-coloured moving things) before they reach the ground. Since these aliens
aren't friendly (which is why you're trying to stop them) they will shoot back. Dodge the descending bullets or hang about under the large
stationary blocks for cover.

phear - enter the cavez of phear
SYNOPSIS
phear [-e <level filename>] | [level name]
OPTIONS
This program has several arguments:
-e Start editor instead of game on a specific level.
level name
Name of the level to play, f.ex 01
level filename
Filename of the level to edit. f.ex /usr/share/phear/data/levels/01
DESCRIPTION
This is a boulder dash type of game, for terminals. You walk around in a ASCII underground cave system, where you need to keep clear of
boulders falling down while you are digging through the dirt searching for diamonds.
To play you have to know these keys:
right - move right
left - move left
up - move up
down - move down
b - place bomb
t - detonate bombs
q - leave game
By picking up a diamond (*) you get 10 points, picking up money ($) gives you 100 points. You get one extra life for every 1000 points you
score.
Move around with the arrow keys or the 2-4-8-6 keys. Press 'k' to commit suicide if you should get stuck.
Got the bombs (%)? Great! Press 'b' to place them, and 't' to detonate them all at once. Note that the bombs you place will act just like
stones, affected by gravity, rolling, and so on..
Watch out for monsters (M) -- if they catch you, you will die. To fight back, drop stones on them or blow them up using your bombs.
Pressing 's' will enable/disable sound, 'w' will highlight your current position.
EDITOR
The editor has its own keys you need to know:
0-9 - Keys 0-9 places objects
s - Saves the map
l - Enables lock-mode (lets you draw continuously using the arrow-keys)
q - Quits the editor
