GREED(6)                             Games                            GREED(6)

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.

FILES
       /usr/lib/games/greed.hs
           Default location of Greed high scores.

       ~/.greedscores
           Where they're put if the default location cannot be written to..

BUGS
       This really ought to be an X game, but that would have been too much
       like work.
