## What is Snake?

I really thought everybody knew what Snake was, but here's a description

anyway: Snake is a console (or XTerm if you will) game. The goal is to gather

as many points as possible. This goal is reached by eating the apples (or, like

in this version, the dollar signs. (I like money)) If you're snake's head hits

the wall, or tries to eat it's own tail, you die.

## Requirements

Snake requires the following programs to be installed on your system in order

to work:

	

* NCurses dev

## Installation

To compile snake, just go to the dir where you untarred snake-x.x.tar.gz, and

type

	

	make

After it has compiled, a binary should have emerged, appropriately called

'snake'. Run it by typing './snake'.

	

	

The makefile currently does not support the 'make install' command.  Perhaps

it will in the future. Until then, you will have to install snake by hand. 

	

After you've compiled it, you can copy the binary to any directoy you please,

since it requires no libraries what so ever. It is, however, a custem to copy

the binary to either the /usr/games/ (or any similar directory where games are

stored on your system).

You should copy the manual page (snake.1.gz) to the manual directory for games,

which is /usr/share/man/man6 (under Debian anyway)

	

## Usage

    usage: snake [-h|-d|-g|-n]

    

    -h      Show help

    -d #    Set delay in ms (Default 100)

    -g #    Set tail growth per dollar (Default 5)

    -n #    Set number of dollars in screen (Default 5)
