NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     worm - Play the growing worm game

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     worm [size]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     In worm, you are a little worm:  your body is the  "o"'s  on
the screen and
     your  head  is  the "@".  You move with the hjkl keys (as in
the game
     snake(6)).  If you don't press any keys, you continue in the
direction
     you last moved.  The upper case HJKL keys move you as if you
had pressed
     several of the corresponding lower case key (9 for HL and  5
for JK, or
     until you run into a digit, whichever comes first).

     On  the  screen you will see a digit.  If your worm eats the
digit it will
     grow longer by that number of "o"'s.  The object of the game
is to see
     how long you can make the worm grow.

     The  game  ends  when the worm runs into either the sides of
the screen or
     itself.  The current score (how much the worm has grown)  is
kept in the
     upper right corner of the screen.

     The  optional argument, if present, is the initial length of
the worm.
