NAME

       asciipat - A retro ASCII art game inspired by Moon Patrol.

SYNOPSIS

       asciipat [option] [.rec file]

DESCRIPTION

       asciipat  is  a command-line game that brings back the nostalgia of retro ASCII art games.
       It is inspired  by  the  classic  Moon  Patrol  game.   Guide  your  character  through  a
       treacherous  terrain,  avoiding  obstacles  and shooting down enemies.  Survive as long as
       possible to achieve a high score.

       After finishing game you may notice there is “asciipat.rec” file in your  home  directory.
       It can be used to replay game or to validate your score.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in  the  GNU  info(1)  format;  see
       below.
