OPTIONS

The program understands the following command line options.

-V, --version: prints the program´s version to standard output and exits.

KEYS

The moon-buggy is controlled by a couple of keys, which are described near the bottom of the screen. Most important are the following keys.

SPC, j: makes your car jump. The length of a jump is fixed and you can only start a new jump, while the wheels have contact to the ground.
a, l: fires the mining laser. The laser is used to remove stones, which may block your way.
q: quits the game prematurely. But you still keep your score and may enter the highscore list.
