41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42In
43.Nm ,
44you are a little worm, your body is the "o"'s on the screen
45and your head is the "@".
46You move with the hjkl keys and the arrow keys (as in the game snake).
47If you don't press any keys, you continue in the direction you last moved.
48The upper case HJKL keys move you as if you had pressed
49several (9 for HL and 5 for JK) of the corresponding lower case key
50(unless you run into a digit, then it stops).
51.Pp
52On the screen you will see a digit, if your worm eats the digit is will
53grow longer, the actual amount longer depends on which digit it was
54that you ate.
55The object of the game is to see how long you can make the worm grow.
56.Pp
57The game ends when the worm runs into either the sides of the screen,
58or itself.
59The current score (how much the worm has grown) is kept in
60the upper right corner of the screen.
61.Pp
62The optional argument, if present, is the initial length of the worm.
