+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+pits you against evil robots, who are trying to kill you (which is why
+they are evil).
+Fortunately for you, even though they are evil, they are not very bright
+and have a habit of bumping into each other, thus destroying themselves.
+In order to survive, you must get them to kill each other off, since you
+have no offensive weaponry.
+.Pp
+Since you are stuck without offensive weaponry, you are endowed with one
+piece of defensive weaponry: a teleportation device.
+When two robots run into each other or a junk pile, they die.
+If a robot runs into you, you die.
+When a robot dies, you get 10 points, and when all the robots die,
+you start on the next field.
+This keeps up until they finally get you.
+.Pp
+Robots are represented on the screen by a
+.Sq \+ ,
+the junk heaps from their collisions by a
+.Sq \(** ,
+and you
+(the good guy)
+by a
+.Sq \@ .
+.Pp
+The commands are:
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Ic h
+move one square left
+.It Ic l
+move one square right
+.It Ic k
+move one square up
+.It Ic j
+move one square down
+.It Ic y
+move one square up and left
+.It Ic u
+move one square up and right
+.It Ic b
+move one square down and left
+.It Ic n
+move one square down and right
+.It Ic \&.
+(also space) do nothing for one turn
+.It Ic HJKLBNYU
+run as far as possible in the given direction
+.It Ic \>
+do nothing for as long as possible
+.It Ic t
+teleport to a random location
+.It Ic w
+wait until you die or they all do
+.It Ic q
+quit
+.It Ic ^L
+redraw the screen
+.El
+.Pp
+All commands can be preceded by a count.
+.Pp
+If you use the
+.Sq Ic w 
+command and survive to the next level, you will get a bonus of 10%
+for each robot which died after you decided to wait.
+If you die, however, you get nothing.
+For all other commands, the program will save you from typos
+by stopping short of being eaten.
+However, with
+.Sq Ic w
+you take the risk of dying by miscalculation.
+.Pp
+Only five scores are allowed per user on the score file.
+If you make it into the score file, you will be shown the list at the end
+of the game.
+If an alternative score file is specified, that will be used instead of the
+standard file for scores.
+.Pp
+The options are
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl s
+Don't play, just show the score file.
+.It Fl j
+Jump,
+.Em i.e. ,
+when you run, don't show any intermediate positions; only show things at
+the end.
+This is useful on slow terminals.
+.It Fl t
+Teleport automatically when you have no other option.
+This is a little disconcerting until you get used to it, and then it is
+very nice.
+.It Fl a
+Advance into the higher levels directly, skipping the lower, easier levels.
