# luxman(6)

A maze game for Linux

## NAME

LuxMan - A maze game for Linux

## SYNOPSIS

**luxman** \[ **-r rate** \] \[ **-f file** \] \[ **-8hn** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**luxman** is a maze game for Linux, similar to the \`*Pac* *Man*' arcade game. It uses SVGAlib, so it runs in a console (as opposed to running under X).

**Some features:**

- **\* Customizable**

  You can change the playing order, create new levels, edit the bitmaps, change colors, change sounds, etc.,  without recompiling the source. See the file **HOWTO.Modify** for details.

- **\* Multiple skill levels**

  Four to be exact, ranging from pitifully easy to nearly impossible (well, as far as \*I\* can tell :).

- **\* VT Switching**

  You can switch to/from the game at any time.

- **\* Digitized sound**

  Just listen, you'll hear what I mean.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** *name*, **--file** *name*

  Set scenarios filename to *name*. The default name is **scenarios.** This file may be located either in the current directory or in **/usr/lib/games/luxman.**

- **-r** *rate*, **--fps** *rate*

  Set frame rate to *rate*.

- **-8**, **--8k**

  Use 8kHz sound playback. The default is 11kHz. This option is considered **OBSOLETE**. If you really need this feature, or find it useful, please e-mail **frankm@nuance.com** and tell me.

- **-n**, **--nosnd**

  Do not use sound. This is on by default if you do not have a soundcard.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Show a summary of command line options.
