BETHEWUMPUS(6)                       Games                      BETHEWUMPUS(6)



NAME
       bethewumpus  -  An  audio-only  game  in  which  you are a blind, cave-
       dwelling wumpus who subsists on meals of unlucky cave wanderers.

SYNOPSIS
       bethewumpus [ --sounddevice n ] [ --version ]

DESCRIPTION
       You may have hunted the wumpus back in the 1970’s before they became an
       endangered  species.   Now  you  can  be  the  wumpus.   Headphones are
       strongly recommended, and a dual stick gamepad, such as a Logitech Dual
       Action Rumble (the only kind I’ve tried) is required.

       Sneak up on your prey, and eat them.

Options:
       --sounddevice n
              Use  alternate  sound  device  n,  where  n  is  an integer.  By
              default, bethewumpus uses the "default" sound  device  as  esti-
              mated  by  the  PortAudio  library, which is 0.  You can specify
              other numbers if you have other sound cards, or  a  multichannel
              sound card.

       --version
              Print the program’s version number and exit.

Controls:
       Just  play  with  the  buttons and joysticks while listening with head-
       phones, you’ll get it.

       Studio Hunty, which I’ve never played -- I’ve only read about it.)
