.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the game
.B tint
(a tetris clone). As with all games (and especially with tint), you have to play it,
not read about it.
.P
A summary of options and keyboard controls is included below.
For a complete description, see the NOTES file in /usr/doc/tint-@VERSION@.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-h
Show summary of options.
.TP
.B \-l <level>
Specify the starting level (1-9). The higher the level you're starting from,
the faster you'll earn points.
.TP
.B \-n
Draw next shape. When the next shape is drawn, you might find the game to be
easier, but it will be slower to earn points.
.TP
.B \-d
Draw dotted lines.
.TP
.B \-b <char>
Use the specified character (instead of spaces) to draw blocks.
.SH KEYBOARD
.TP
.B Left Arrow, j
Move piece left.
.TP
.B Right Arrow, l
Move piece right.
.TP

Rotate piece.

.TP
.B p
Pause game.
.TP
.B q
Quit game and exit \fBtint\fR.
.SH FILES
.TP
.B /var/games/tint.scores
High scores are stored here. The file is group-owned by the \fBgames\fR
group, and the game runs setgid so that all users' high scores can be
written to the file.
.PP
To reset the high scores, you can truncate the file to zero bytes, but
don't delete it or change its permissions/ownership. One way to do this:
.PP
root@darkstar# truncate -s0 /var/games/tint.scores
