.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The game
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is based on a fantasy game first presented in the pages of
|
|
.Em People's Computer Company
|
|
in 1973.
|
|
In Hunt the Wumpus you are placed in a cave built of many different rooms,
|
|
all interconnected by tunnels.
|
|
Your quest is to find and shoot the evil Wumpus that resides elsewhere in
|
|
the cave without running into any pits or using up your limited supply of
|
|
arrows.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Specifies the number of magic arrows the adventurer gets.
|
|
The default is five.
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Specifies the number of rooms in the cave which contain bats.
|
|
The default is three.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Play the hard version -- more pits, more bats, and a generally more
|
|
dangerous cave.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Specifies the number of rooms in the cave which contain bottomless pits.
|
|
The default is three.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Specifies the number of rooms in the cave.
|
|
The default cave size is twenty-five rooms.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Specifies the number of tunnels connecting each room in the cave to
|
|
another room.
|
|
Beware, too many tunnels in a small cave can easily cause it to collapse!
|
|
The default cave room has three tunnels to other rooms.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
While wandering through the cave you'll notice that, while there are tunnels
|
|
everywhere, there are some mysterious quirks to the cave topology, including
|
|
some tunnels that go from one room to another, but not necessarily back!
|
|
Also, most pesky of all are the rooms that are home to large numbers of bats,
|
|
which, upon being disturbed, will en masse grab you and move you to another
|
|
portion of the cave (including those housing bottomless pits, sure
|
|
death for unwary explorers).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Fortunately, you're not going into the cave without any weapons or tools,
|
|
and in fact your biggest aids are your senses; you can often smell the
|
|
rather odiferous Wumpus up to
|
|
.Em two
|
|
rooms away, and you can always feel the drafts created by the occasional
|
|
bottomless pit and hear the rustle of the bats in caves they might be
|
|
sleeping within.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To kill the wumpus, you'll need to shoot it with one of your magic arrows.
|
|
Fortunately, you don't have to be in the same room as the creature, and can
|
|
instead shoot the arrow from as far as three or four rooms away!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When you shoot an arrow, you do so by typing in a list of rooms that you'd
|
|
like it to travel to.
|
|
If at any point in its travels it cannot find a tunnel to the room you
|
|
specify from the room it's in, it will instead randomly fly down one of the
|
|
tunnels, possibly, if you're real unlucky, even flying back into the room
|
|
you're in and hitting you!
