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

== SYNOPSIS ==
greed [-s] [-w width] [-h height] [-f] [-p] [-r seed]

== 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 (with Num Lock on).  Your location is signified by the @
symbol. The following diagram shows how the basic movement keys
work.

----
y k u  7 8 9
 \|/    \|/
h-+-l  4-+-6
 /|\    /|\
b j n  1 2 3
----

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 -w and -h options set the width and height of the board.
The -f option size the board to fit your terminal window

With option -p, display all your next possible moves
with a reverse-video highlight.  During the game, 'p'
toggles this feature on and off.

The -r option sets the random seed (useful for reproducible games).

With the -s option, output the hight 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 describing 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.

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