moon-buggy - drive some car across the moon

[--help] [--no-title] [--show-scores] [--version]
Moon-buggy is a simple
character graphics game, where you drive some kind of car across the moon’s
surface. Unfortunately there are dangerous craters there. Fortunately your
car can jump over them!
The program understands the following command
line options.
- -h, --help
- shows a short usage message.
- -m, --mesg
- disable write
access to your terminal by other users, so your boss can’t disturb your
game play with the help of "write" or "finger".
- -n, --no-title
- skips the title
screen.
- -s, --show-scores
- shows the current highscore list and exits.
- -V, --version
- prints the program’s version to standard output and exits.
The moon-buggy
is controlled by a couple of keys, which are described near the bottom
of the screen. Most important are the following keys.
- SPC, j
- makes your car
jump. The length of a jump is fixed and you can only start a new jump,
while the wheels have contact to the ground.
- a, l
- fires the mining laser.
The laser is used to remove stones, which may block your way.
- q
- quits the
game prematurely. But you still keep your score and may enter the highscore
list.
