WORMS 6 ""
C 4
NAME
worms - animate worms on a display terminal
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/worms [ -ft ] [ -length # ] [ -number # ]
DESCRIPTION
Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a TOPS-20 program on the DEC-2136 machine called WORM , and suggested that I write a similar program that would run under Unix . I did, and no apologies.

-f makes a "field" for the worm(s) to eat; -t causes each worm to leave a trail behind it. You can figure out the rest by yourself.
