GREED(6) Games GREED(6)NAMEgreed - eat a game field until you run out of moves
SYNOPSISgreed [-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]]
where <cn> is a character decribing the color for digit n. The color
letters are read as follows:
b = blue,
g = green,
c = cyan,
r = red,
m = magenta,
y = yellow,
w = white.
In addition, capitalizing a letter turns on the A_BOLD attribute for
that letter.
If the string ends with a trailing :, letters following are taken as
game options. At present, only 'p' (equivalent to an initial 'p'
command) is defined.

BUGS
This really ought to be an X game, but that would have been too much
like work.
