<para>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 numberic
Your location is signified by the @ symbol.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para>Other Greed commands are 'Ctrl-L' to redraw the screen, 'p' to toggle
the highlighting of the possible moves, and 'q' to quit. </para>
<para>The only ommand line option to Greed is '-s' to output the high
score file.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id='environment'><title>ENVIRONMENT</title>
<para>Greed will detect color curses(3) support at compilation time. If
you have it, Greed will generate the board in color, one color to each
of the digit values. This will also enable checking of an environment
variable GREEDOPTS to override the default color set, which will be
parsed as a string of the form:</para>
<literallayout remap='.nf'>
<c1><c2><c3><c4><c5><c6><c7><c8><c9>[:[p]]
</literallayout> <!-- .fi -->
<para>where <cn> is a character decribing the color for digit n.
The color letters are read as follows:</para>
<literallayout remap='.nf'>
b = blue,
g = green,
c = cyan,
r = red,
m = magenta,
y = yellow,
w = white.
</literallayout> <!-- .fi -->
<para>In addition, capitalizing a letter turns on the A_BOLD attribute for that
letter.</para>
<para>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.</para>
