NAME
       rockdodger - dodge and blow up rocks with your spaceship

SYNOPSIS
       rockdodger [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	documents briefly the rockdodger game.

       Use  the	 space	key  to	start a	new game.  You have to dodge the rocks
       that come flying	in from	the right.  By	shooting  at  them  with  your
       laser  you  can heat them until they explode.  The shield makes you in-
       vincible	while you keep it activated.  Both shield  and	laser  have  a
       limited power supply which recharges only slowly.

   Keyboard Controls

GURU MEDITATION	(Errors)
       Error  messages	(aka  software	failures) are usually reported by a so
       called "guru meditation". The guru meditation will be displayed in  the
       top  of the screen in a blinking	border.	If this	happens	please send in
       a bug report and	provide	the colour of the border (red, yellow,	green,
       blue)  and  the	two  hex  numbers after	the hash ('#').	This will help
       greatly in locating the failure.
