ROBOTS(6)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

robots − escape from the robots

SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/robots

DESCRIPTION

The object of the game robots is to move around inside of the box on the screen without getting eaten by the robots chasing you and without running into anything. 

If a robot runs into another robot while chasing you, they crash and leave a junk heap. 

You start out with 10 robots worth 10 points each.  If you defeat all of them, you get 20 robots worth 20 points each.  Then 30, etc.  Until you get eaten! 

The game keeps track of the top ten scores and prints them at the end of the game. 

The valid commands are described on the screen.
