Enterprise, ! 73: to wipe out the invasion fleet and save the Federation. ! 74: .pp ! 75: For the purposes of the game ! 76: the galaxy is divided into 64 quadrants ! 77: on an eight by eight grid, ! 78: with quadrant 0,0 in the upper left hand corner. ! 79: Each quadrant is divided into 100 sectors ! 80: on a ten by ten grid. ! 81: Each sector contains one object ! 82: (e.g., the Enterprise, a Klingon, or a star). ! 83: .pp ! 84: Navigation is handled in degrees, ! 85: with zero being straight up ! 86: and ninety being to the right. ! 87: Distances are measured in quadrants. ! 88: One tenth quadrant is one sector. ! 89: .pp ! 90: The galaxy contains starbases, ! 91: at which you can dock to refuel, ! 92: repair damages, etc. ! 93: The galaxy also contains stars. ! 94: Stars usually have a knack for getting in your way, ! 95: but they can be triggered into going nova ! 96: by shooting a photon torpedo at one, ! 97: thereby (hopefully) destroying any adjacent Klingons. ! 98: This is not a good practice however, ! 99: because you are penalized for destroying stars. ! 100: Also, a star will sometimes go supernova, ! 101: which obliterates an entire quadrant. ! 102: You must never stop in a supernova quadrant, ! 103: although you may "jump over" one. ! 104: .pp ! 105: Some starsystems ! 106: have inhabited planets. ! 107: Klingons can attack inhabited planets ! 108: and enslave the populace, ! 109: which they then put to work building more Klingon battle cruisers. ! 110: \".bp ! 111: .ce ! 112: \*fSTARTING UP THE GAME\fR ! 113: .pp ! 114: To request the game, issue the command ! 115: .sp ! 116: .ti +15 ! 117: .ft B ! 118: /usr/games/trek ! 119: .ft ! 120: .sp ! 121: from the shell. ! 122: If a filename is supplied, ! 123: a log of the game is written onto that file. ! 124: (Otherwise, no ! 125: file is written.) ! 126: If the ! 127: ``\fB\-a\fP'' flag is stated before the filename, ! 128: the log of the game is appended to the file. ! 129: .pp ! 130: The game will ask you what length game ! 131: you would like. ! 132: Valid responses are "short", "medium", and "long". ! 133: You may also type "restart", ! 134: which restarts a previously saved game. ! 135: Ideally, ! 136: the length of the game does not affect the difficulty, ! 137: but currently the shorter games tend to be harder than the longer ones. ! 138: .pp ! 139: You will then be prompted for the skill, ! 140: to which you must respond ! 141: "novice", "fair", "good", "expert", ! 142: "commodore", or "impossible". ! 143: You should start out with a novice ! 144: and work up, ! 145: but if you really want to see ! 146: how fast you can be slaughtered, ! 147: start out with an impossible game. ! 148: .pp ! 149: In general, ! 150: throughout the game, ! 151: if you forget what is appropriate ! 152: the game will tell you what it expects ! 153: if you just type in ! 154: a question mark. ! 155: \".bp ! 156: .ce ! 157: \*fISSUING COMMANDS\fR ! 158: .pp ! 159: If the game expects you to enter a command, ! 160: .hc ^ ! 161: it will say ^"Command:\ " ! 162: and wait for your response. ! 163: Most commands can be abbreviated. ! 164: .pp ! 165: At almost any time you can type more than one thing on a line. ! 166: For example, ! 167: to move straight up one quadrant, ! 168: you can type ! 169: .ti +12 ! 170: move 0 1 ! 171: .br ! 172: or you could just type ! 173: .ti +12 ! 174: move ! 175: .br ! 176: and the game would prompt you with ! 177: .ti +12 ! 178: Course: ! 179: .br ! 180: to which you could type ! 181: .ti +12 ! 182: 0 1 ! 183: .br ! 184: The "1" is the distance, ! 185: which could be put on still another line. ! 186: Also, the "move" command ! 187: could have been abbreviated ! 188: "mov", "mo", or just "m". ! 189: .pp ! 190: If you are partway through a command ! 191: and you change your mind, ! 192: you can usually type "-1" ! 193: to cancel the command. ! 194: .pp ! 195: Klingons generally cannot hit you ! 196: if you don't consume anything ! 197: (e.g., time or energy), ! 198: so some commands are considered "free". ! 199: As soon as you consume anything though -- POW! ! 200: .bp ! 201: .de ** ! 202: .if \\n+l .** !

887: You lose ! 888: points for the number of Klingons left ! 889: in the galaxy ! 890: at the end of the game, ! 891: for getting killed, ! 892: for each star, starbase, or inhabited starsystem ! 893: you destroy, !
