NAME¶

rockdodger - dodge and blow up rocks with your spaceship

SYNOPSIS¶

rockdodger [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the rockdodger game. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Use the space key to start a new game. You have to dodge the rocks that come flying in from the right. By shooting at them with your laser you can heat them until they explode. The shield makes you invincible while you keep it activated. Both shield and laser have a limited power supply which recharges only slowly.
