NAME¶
greed - eat a game field until you run out of movesSYNOPSIS¶
greed [-s]
DESCRIPTION¶
The object of Greed is to erase as much of the screen as possible by moving around in a grid of numbers. To move your cursor, simply use your arrow keys or the the 'hjklyubn' keys or your numeric keypad. Your location is signified by the @ symbol. When you move in a direction, you erase N number of grid squares in that direction, N being the first number in that direction. Your score reflects the total number of squares eaten. Greed will not let you make a move that would have placed you off the grid or over a previously eaten square. If no valid moves exist, your game ends. Other Greed commands are 'Ctrl-L' to redraw the screen, 'p' to toggle the highlighting of the possible moves, and 'q' to quit. The only command line option to Greed is '-s' to output the high score file.ENVIRONMENT¶
The environment variable GREEDOPTS can override the default color set, which will be parsed as a string of the form:<c1><c2><c3><c4><c5><c6><c7><c8><c9>[:[p]]
