.The layout is very different fromthe standard arcade control layout.No man page is available.Other Thinking GamesThe following programs might actually be a bit frustrating to play with initially,but they can also provide hours of addiction! Sokoban Imagine yourself in chargeof a warehouse containing a maze and lots of bales of cotton.Each bale is so heavythat you can only push it and not pull it.So don't push a bale into a spot whereyou cannot push it out.Each level in this game gets more and more challenging asyou attempt to collect all the bales into a loading area where you can move to thenext level.The source code is available from sunsite.unc.edu in the filesokoban-src.tar.gz.DOOM This exciting, though controversially gory, gameis now ported to Linux as well.Complete with sound support and exquisite graphics,this Linux port does its DOS counterpart justice.One problem to keep in mind though,is that your colormaps in X may be mixed up once your cursor moves out of the X terminalyou run DOOM under.Two other things to keep in mind--you have to rebuild your kernelto add the sound support, and the version 1.666 of DOOM will not run external WADfiles.(I recommend that you get the registered version.) Conquest This is an elaborategame of global conquest with equally complex instructions and display.At least thefiles are in an executable form, and you do not have to build them.One thing toremember is to use the xconq file and run xset fp rehashto bring up the correct fonts.A comparable game, called Empire, is also availablein source from tsx-11.mit.edu, but you need a network connection to runthis game.Miscellaneous Demosand UtilitiesThe following programs might interest you.If you're a werewolf, the fourth onewill be particularly useful! Caesar Type caesar at the command line.Thisprogram attempts to decrypt encoded words.Type man caesar to see the manpage.Fortune Type fortune at the command line for your Linux fortune-cookiemessage.Number Type number <number> at the command line.Converts the Arabic number given as <number> (for example,41) to its equivalent in English (forty-one).Phase of the Moon Type pomat the command prompt.The program tells you the current phase of the moon.As theman page mentions, this can be useful in predicting the behavior of others, and maybeyourself, too! Type man pom to see the man page.Rain Type rainat the command prompt.Your screen becomes rippled like a puddle in a rainstorm.On most Linux console screens, the program runs too fast to look even remotely convincing.Press Ctrl-C to exit.Worms Type worms at the command prompt (do not confusewith the Worm program, above).This fills your screen with squirming worms.LikeRain, the program runs much too fast on a Linux console screen.A man page is availableif you type man worms.SummaryYou should now be able to while away the time by sitting at your machine and playingyour favorite games.If you haven't installed the X Window system yet, maybe thisis the extra incentive you need!
