ROBOTS(6)                        Games Manual                        ROBOTS(6)

NAME
     robots - fight off villainous robots

DESCRIPTION
     robots 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.

     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 1 point, and when all the robots die, you
     start on the next field. This keeps up until they finally get you.

     Robots are represented on the screen by a `+', the junk heaps from their
     collisions by a `*', and you (the good guy) by a `@'.

     The commands are:
     h       move one square left
     l       move one square right
     k       move one square up
     j       move one square down
     y       move one square up and left
     u       move one square up and right
     b       move one square down and left
     n       move one square down and right
     .       (also space) do nothing for one turn
     t       teleport to a random location
     q       quit
