SYNOPSIS

luxman [ -r rate ] [ -f file ] [ -8hn ]

DESCRIPTION

luxman is a maze game for Linux, similar to the `Pac Man' arcade game. It uses SVGAlib, so it runs in a console (as opposed to running under X).

Some features:

* Customizable

You can change the playing order, create new levels, edit the bitmaps, change colors, change sounds, etc., without recompiling the source. See the file HOWTO.Modify for details.

* Multiple skill levels

Four to be exact, ranging from pitifully easy to nearly impossible (well, as far as *I* can tell :).

* VT Switching

You can switch to/from the game at any time.

* Digitized sound

Just listen, you'll hear what I mean.
