NAME¶

opengreedy - open source version of edromel studio's Greedy XP

SYNOPSIS¶

opengreedy [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION¶

From the main menu, use the arrow keys to change your selection and press Return to select it. Press Escape to quit the game. Use also Escape to return to the main menu from other screens (game, hall of fame, credits...).

During the game, use the arrow keys to control the pacman and eat all the pacgums to advance to the next level. The order in which the arrows are pressed is recorded so that you can press more than one and better negotiate the corners. Each pacgum gives 10 points.

Press P to pause the game.

The number of lives remaining is shown at the bottom right of the top panel. You lose one each time a ghost catches up with the pacman. One life is gained every 30,000 points.

Use Shift to temporarily activate your shield and prevent your pacman from being eaten by the ghosts. You have to collect shield bonuses before you can activate it. The number of shields available is shown left to the number of remaining lives.

Use Control to boost your pacman. The amount of available booster is displayed as a gauge on the top right corner of the panel. You can reload it by collecting related bonuses (single and double hearts). Each time you advance a level, you are granted a small amount as well.
