SYNOPSIS

       moon-buggy [-hnsV] [--help] [--no-title] [--show-scores] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

       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!

OPTIONS

       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.

KEYS

       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.
