`NAME`

evac

- an addictive text game based on the movie The Cave with a reference to NetHack

`SYNOPSIS`


evac

[-h] [--help]

`DESCRIPTION`


In 
evac

one must proceed through several levels of increasing difficulty. More and more enemies appear as you progress, as well as new enemies with new mechanics. As of now, there are an infinite amount of levels... Try to beat them all!

`INSTALLATION`


Downloads of
evac's

source comes in a .tar.gz format. To install, first untar the files into any directory, though we suspect that you have already succeeded in doing so, considering the fact that you are reading this. To install, cd into the directory, and run 'make'. It will run all necessary tests and then compile 
evac.

We highly recommend that if any tests fail, you opt to abort compilation. If compilation has completed successfuly, then you may proceed to run
evac

from the directory, or type 'make install'. This will put this manpage in the manpath, and copy the binary to '/usr/local/bin'. This completes the installation.

`OPTIONS`

`EXAMPLES`

Run evac:: evac

`BUGS`

Bug #1:: When evac is run, it shows a title screen. To go to the actual game, one must press the "any" key. Hopefully, you have installed one on your keyboard. If you have not installed an any key, one may also press '\036' or 'Ctr-6'
