WORMS(6) UNIX Programmer's Manual WORMS(6)
NAME
worms - animate worms on a display terminal
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/worms [ -field ] [ -length # ] [ -number # ] [
-trail ]
DESCRIPTION
Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a _T_O_P_S-_2_0 program on the
DEC-2136 machine called _W_O_R_M, and suggested that I write a
similar program that would run under _U_n_i_x. 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.
