WUMP(6)                  DOMAIN/IX SYS5                   WUMP(6)



NAME
     wump - the game of hunt-the-wumpus

USAGE
     /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.

     At the beginning of the game, the program prompts you with

          Instructions? (y-n)

     If you want a more detailed description of the game, type a
     ``y''. Otherwise, type ``n''. After that, the program asks
     various questions which you answer, one per line. To exit,
     send an interrupt (↑I).

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

NOTES
     It will never replace Adventure.
