SYNTAX


/usr/games/wump ---|


DESCRIPTION

A wumpus is a creature living in a cave with many rooms interconnected by
tunnels.  You move among the rooms trying to shoot the wumpus with an arrow and
trying to avoid being eaten by the wumpus or falling into Bottomless Pits.
There are also Super Bats that may pick you up and drop you in some randomly
selected room.  For moving among the rooms and shooting arrows, the wump
command asks appropriate questions and follows your instructions.

After either you kill the wumpus, the wumpus eats you, or you fall into a
Bottomless Pit, the wump command asks if you want a new game.  To quit the game
at any time, press the interrupt key.  To quit the game on a new line, press
the end-of-file key (Ctrl-D).
