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  invincible  while  you
     keep it activated.  Both shield and laser have a limited power supply which
     recharges only slowly.

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.
