NAME

worms  −  animate worms on a display terminal

SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/worms [ −field ] [ −length # ] [ −number # ] [ −trail ]

DESCRIPTION

Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a TOPS-20 program on the DEC-2136 machine called WORM, and suggested that I write a similar program that would run under Unix. I did, and no apologies.

−field makes a "field" for the worm(s) to eat; −trail causes each worm to leave a trail behind it.  You can figure out the rest by yourself.
