WUMP(6)  —  GAMES AND DEMOS

NAME

wump − the game of hunt the wumpus

SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/wump

DESCRIPTION

wump plays the game of ‘Hunt the Wumpus.’ A Wumpus is a creature that lives in a cave with several rooms connected by tunnels.  You wander among the rooms, trying to shoot the Wumpus with an arrow, meanwhile avoiding being eaten by the Wumpus and falling into Bottomless Pits.  There are also Super Bats which are likely to pick you up and drop you in some random room. 

The program asks various questions which you answer one per line; it will give a more detailed description if you want. 

This program is based on one described in People’s Computer Company, 2, 2 (November 1973).
