LuxMan - A maze game for Linux

luxman [ -r rate ] [ -f file ] [ -8hn ]

luxman is a maze game for Linux, similar to the `Pac Man' arcade game. It uses SVGAlib, so it runs in a console (as opposed to running under X).

Some features:

* Customizable

You can change the playing order, create new levels, edit the bitmaps, change colors, change sounds, etc., without recompiling the source. See the file HOWTO.Modify for details.

* Multiple skill levels

Four to be exact, ranging from pitifully easy to nearly impossible (well, as far as *I* can tell :).

* VT Switching

You can switch to/from the game at any time.

* Digitized sound

Just listen, you'll hear what I mean.

-f name, --file name

Set scenarios filename to name. The default name is scenarios. This file may be located either in the current directory or in /usr/lib/games/luxman.

-r rate, --fps rate

Set frame rate to rate.

-8, --8k

Use 8kHz sound playback. The default is 11kHz. This option is considered OBSOLETE. If you really need this feature, or find it useful, please e-mail frankm@nuance.com and tell me.

-n, --nosnd

Do not use sound. This is on by default if you do not have a soundcard.

-h, --help

Show a summary of command line options.

/usr/lib/games/luxman/scenarios /usr/lib/games/luxman/modern/levels.def /usr/lib/games/luxman/oldscen/old.def
