NAME

       xjump - a jumping game for X

SYNOPSIS

       xjump [ -toolkitoption ] ... [ -private ] [ -graphic file ] [ -keymap ]
       xjump [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xjump  is  a jumping game where you are in a Falling Tower. The floor you are standing on is sinking with
       the rest of the building; you will die once the floor gives way  (disappears  under  the  bottom  of  the
       display).  To  survive,  you have to jump onto the upper floors of the tower. Because the entire tower is
       sinking, the upper floors will soon collapse, too, so you have to keep on jumping to higher floors.

       Your score is counted by how many floors you jump before you either fall off while trying  to  reach  the
       next floor, or the floor you are standing on collapses.

OPTIONS

       -toolkitoption ...
              Specify X toolkit options (such as -geometry, -display, etc.).

       -private
              Use private colormap.

       -graphic FILE
              Use the XPM graphic file FILE for graphics.

       -keymap
              Read keymap directly.

       -help  Display a summary of command-line syntax.

GAME CONTROLS

       To begin the game, press the Space-bar from the highscore screen.

       Once  the game begins, movement is controlled by the Left and Right arrow keys. To jump, use the Up arrow
       key.

       Note that hitting the Left or Right arrow keys many times will cause the player to go faster. You can use
       this to reach floors that are far away.  But be careful not to jump too far and miss! You can also change
       your speed while jumping through midair. If your reflexes are fast enough, you can  salvage  a  bad  jump
       this way. Good luck!

       To quit the game, press shift-Q.
