* Conflict and replace with old versions of bsdgames-nonfree that include
hack.
* Add hack to package description and menu file.
* Add in hack's two READ_ME files to binay package.
* Patched hack config.h as it is patched in bsdgames-nonfree.
* Unlike bsdgames-nonfree, put the help, hh, rumors, and data files in
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/hack, as the patched config.h makes it look
there.
* postinst moves over hack state files to new directory
* Patched phantasia to use strerror and not segfault if it cannot open the
var files. Closes: #187251 (patch sent upstream)

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The object of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to find as many words as possible on the Boggle board within the three
|
|
minute time limit.
|
|
A Boggle board is a four by four arrangement of Boggle cubes, each side of
|
|
each cube displaying a letter of the alphabet or `qu'.
|
|
Words are formed by finding a sequence of cubes (letters) that are in the
|
|
game's dictionary.
|
|
The (N+1)th cube in the word must be horizontally,
|
|
vertically, or diagonally adjacent to the Nth cube.
|
|
Cubes cannot be reused.
|
|
Words consist solely of lower case letters and must be at least 3 letters long.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Command line flags can be given to change the rules of the game.

The dictionary is read from stdin and a list of words appearing in
|
|

|
|
is printed to stdout.

seconds.
|
|
.It Fl w Ar length
|
|
Change the minimum word length from 3 letters to

|
.Ar length .
|
|
.It Ar +
|
|
This flag allows a cube to be used multiple times, but not in succession.
|
|
.It Ar ++
|
|
This flag allows the same cubes to be considered adjacent to itself.
|
|
.It Ar boardspec
|
|
A starting board position can be specified on the command line by

|
listing the board left to right and top to bottom.

|
|
may scroll off of the screen.
