Enterprise, ! 50: to wipe out the invasion fleet and save the Federation. ! 51: .pp ! 52: For the purposes of the game ! 53: the galaxy is divided into 64 quadrants ! 54: on an eight by eight grid, ! 55: with quadrant 0,0 in the upper left hand corner. ! 56: Each quadrant is divided into 100 sectors ! 57: on a ten by ten grid. ! 58: Each sector contains one object ! 59: (e.g., the Enterprise, a Klingon, or a star). ! 60: .pp ! 61: Navigation is handled in degrees, ! 62: with zero being straight up ! 63: and ninty being to the right. ! 64: Distances are measured in quadrants. ! 65: One tenth quadrant is one sector. ! 66: .pp ! 67: The galaxy contains starbases, ! 68: at which you can dock to refuel, ! 69: repair damages, etc. ! 70: The galaxy also contains stars. ! 71: Stars usually have a knack for getting in your way, ! 72: but they can be triggered into going nova ! 73: by shooting a photon torpedo at one, ! 74: thereby (hopefully) destroying any adjacent Klingons. ! 75: This is not a good practice however, ! 76: because you are penalized for destroying stars. ! 77: Also, a star will sometimes go supernova, ! 78: which obliterates an entire quadrant. ! 79: You must never stop in a supernova quadrant, ! 80: although you may "jump over" one. ! 81: .pp ! 82: Some starsystems ! 83: have inhabited planets. ! 84: Klingons can attack inhabited planets ! 85: and enslave the populace, ! 86: which they then put to work building more Klingon battle cruisers. ! 87: .bp ! 88: .ce ! 89: STARTING UP THE GAME ! 90: .pp ! 91: To request the game, issue the command ! 92: .sp ! 93: .ti +12 ! 94: /usr/games/trek ! 95: .sp ! 96: from the shell. ! 97: If a filename is stated, ! 98: a log of the game is written ! 99: onto that file. ! 100: If omitted, ! 101: the file is not written. ! 102: If the "-a" flag is stated before the filename, ! 103: that file is appended to ! 104: rather than created. ! 105: .pp ! 106: The game will ask you what length game ! 107: you would like. ! 108: Valid responses are "short", "medium", and "long". ! 109: Ideally the length of the game does not ! 110: affect the difficulty, ! 111: but currently the shorter games ! 112: tend to be harder than the longer ones. ! 113: .pp ! 114: You will then be prompted for the skill, ! 115: to which you must respond ! 116: "novice", "fair", "good", or "expert". ! 117: You should start out with a novice ! 118: and work up, ! 119: but if you really want to see how fast ! 120: you can be slaughtered, ! 121: start out with an expert game. ! 122: .pp ! 123: In general, ! 124: throughout the game, ! 125: if you forget what is appropriate ! 126: type ?

579: the burst angle is the angle ! 580: between the three shots, ! 581: which may vary from one to fifteen. ! 582: The word "no" ! 583: says that a burst is not wanted; ! 584: the word "yes" ! 585: (which may be omitted !
