Design and Earth domination plans.
==================================


Command line options:
=====================

-help
    print text of the "Help!" song.
-yesterday
    congratulate Arron Shutt with his birthday (which was
    "yesterday").
-29
    supposing that 29 is Arron's age, print his current age
    (if I will have time to implement this).
-NUM
    print "Bottles of beer on the wall" (from NUM to 0).
-splunge
    could not find in dictionary (just say so).
-BEL
    print "\a".


Game design.
============

What relatively simple games I can remember?

     pong
     tetris
     xonix
     tanks (or gorilla throwing bananas)
     asteroids
     invaders
     galaga
     arkanoid
     pacman.

What games I would like to do (and play)?

     pacman
     arkanoid
     invaders
     galaga
     (other games are too simple for playing).

What game I can write in 2 days?

     pong
     tetris
     xonix
     tanks
     invaders
     galaga
     maybe pacman

I think I will write invaders and maybe something else, if I have
time.


Space Invaders.
===============

Several ways of alien ships come down on earth and throw bombs.  One
brave player goes on bottom line and shoots back with rockets.  There
are shelters above player which are destroyed by shots.  Bomb that
detonated on shelter does not hurt player.  Player gets points for
each destroyed alien ship.  Player has three ships initially and gets
one more ship for each N points.  Sometimes there appears another
alien ship on top of the screen, its destructions gives M points.

It is just classic Space Invaders clone.

Pac-man.
========

    Just a classic pacman with ghost running for pacman, and pacman
    eating dots, power-ups and prizes.  Who needs design anyway :-)
