|
|
popularly known as "Doomguy", fighting their way through hordes
|
|
of invading demons from Hell. Game data (WAD-files) for
|
|
.B doom
|

|
|
.I pattern
|
|

|
|
.I start
|
|

|
|
The number of hands involved (default 2) can be specified with
|

|
and
|
|
.I delay
|
|
can be used to speed up or slow down the action (default is 20).

|
.TP
|
|
.B life
|
|
Play the game of Life, given an initial position.
|
|
There is a library of interesting initial positions;
|
|
the library is consulted if

|
.I startfile
|
|
cannot be found.
|
|
The
|
|
.B -3
|
|
and
|
|
.B -o
|
|
options select between rules known as
|
|
.IR 34-life " and " lineosc ,
|
|
while
|
|
.B -o
|
|
allows specifying the rules explicitly as an argument.
|
|
The
|
|
.B -d
|
|
option allows specifying the delay in milliseconds between steps, and
|
|
.B -b
|
|
reverses the color scheme.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B mahjongg
|
|
Remove all tiles
|
|
from the board. Click on tiles with the same face that
|
|
are not blocked by others. A blocked tile is one that is partially or
|
|
fully covered on top or has neighbouring tiles to the left and right.
|
|
The game finishes when either all tiles are gone or there are no
|
|
more moves left. The arguments are for changing background
|
|
.RB ( -b ),
|
|
tile
|
|
.RB ( -t )
|
|
and layout
|
|
.RB ( -l )
|
|
images;
|
|
.RB -c
|
|
selects a true-color buffer image, for use with
|
|
drawterm or in case selecting a tile obscures it completely;
|
|
.RB -f
|
|
causes mahjongg to indicate non-blocked tiles on mouse-over.
|
|
The
|
|
.L N
|
|
key will generate a new level,
|
|
.L R
|
|
restarts the current one.
|
|
.L Q
|
|
and
|
|
.L Del
|
|
quit,
|
|
.L H
|
|
gives a hint, either trying to match the currently selected tile, or if no tile is
|
|
selected finding out the first available tile.
|
|
.L U
|
|
and
|
|
.L Bksp
|
|
undo the last move,
|
|
.L C
|
|
tries to solve the level.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B memo
|
|
Remove all tiles from the board.
|
|
At first, pictures of various Bell Labs employees, Lucent Technologies' logo, and Glenda will appear.
|
|
Memorize the sequence, then click to hide them and begin.
|
|
Use the mouse to select two tiles.
|
|
If they are the same, the tiles will disappear, otherwise the tiles will flip back and you will get a chance to try again.
|
|
Button 3 generates a menu allowing you to restart, switch between easy and hard modes, and exit.
|
|
The
|
|
.B -h
|
|
option sets the game to hard mode.
|
|
Once the game has been completed, a message pops up with how long it took to win.
|
|
Use the button 3 menu to choose a mode, or click to play again.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B mole
|
|
A molecular dynamics simulation based on the Lennard-Jones potential.
|
|
.L r
|
|
restarts the simulation.
|
|
.L f
|
|
redraws the screen.
|
|
.L R
|
|
reverses the simulation.
|
|
.L q
|
|
and
|
|
.L Del
|
|
quit the simulation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B sokoban
|
|
Guide Glenda through a room full of walls, pebbles and holes to put
|
|
the pebbles in. Your goal is to arrange all pebbles into holes by
|
|
pushing them around, but you can only push a pebble if there is no
|
|
wall or another pebble blocking the way.
|
|
Arrow keys move Glenda up-down-left-right.
|
|
.L N
|
|
and
|
|
.L P
|
|
keys switch between
|
|
the next and previous levels,
|
|
.L R
|
|
restarts the current level.
|
|
.L Del
|
|
and
|
|
.L Q
|
|
quit. Button 3 invokes a menu to restart the current level, load different level sets, and en- and disable animation of multi-step moves.
|
|
Button 2 lets you change between levels.
|
|
Button 1 lets you do multi-step moves and pushes,
|
|
by clicking it on the destination where you want Glenda to go.
|
|
Glenda will only move if it can reach the destination.
|
|
For a multi-step push the pebble must be next to Glenda,
|
|
the destination must be on the same row or column,
|
|
and there must be a free place next to the destination
|
|
where the pebble can be pushed to.
|
|
Otherwise, if possible, Glenda will walk to the destination without pushing the pebble.
|
|
.I Sokoban
|
|
accepts a level file as its argument.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B sudoku
|
|
.I Sudoku
|
|
is a puzzle game from Japan. The goal of the game is to
|
|
fill the numbers 1 to 9 in all squares of the 9x9 board following a
|
|
few simple rules: no digit should repeat on the same row and column,
|
|
and no digit should repeat in the same 3x3 boxes outlined with thicker
|
|
lines. The board is initially filled with a partial solution which
|
|
can be used for inferring digits for the empty squares. The top row
|
|
of the board contains the digits 1 through 9, clicking on one of those
|
|
digits selects that number for placement on the board, clicking it
|
|
again will deselect that digit. Clicking on an empty square will then
|
|
affix the square with the selected digit or, if no digit is selected
|
|
empty the square.

.SH BUGS
|
|
In
|
|
.I 4s
|
|
and
|
|
.IR 5s ,
|
|
mouse warping (when the game is resumed,
|
|
and when a new tile appears) does not happen when
|
|
the mouse cursor is outside the game window.
|
|
Those who prefer to use the keyboard without the mouse
|
|
cursor blocking the view (or being warped all the time)
|
|
may consider this a feature.
