NAME

       greed - eat a game field until you run out of moves

SYNOPSIS

       greed [-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.
