- Bomb is a simple game of deduction. There is a 16x16 grid containing
- some number of bombs (the default is 30) which you must move through.
- Each sector is denoted by a number from 1 to 8 representing the number
- of bombs immediately adjacent to it, a space (if there are no bombs
- adjacent to it), or a period (if you haven't been there yet). You may
- place a guess as to what a given sector is by positioning the cursor
- on it (with the number keys) and pressing the space bar; this will
- toggle the sector's classification between unknown (.), bomb (*), and
- okay (o). You start in the upper left hand corner and the object is
- to work your way into the lower right hand corner. If you believe a
- sector to be safe, you can move into it by pressing return. Control-l
- will redraw the screen. If you move into a sector which does not
- border on any bombs, the computer will automatically move into each
- sector around it. You may only move into sectors adjacent to sectors
- you have already visited. There are never any bombs bordering on your
- starting square.

- Bomb compiles and runs successfully for the following operating systems:
-
- SunOS 4.1, Ultrix 4.1, and VAX/VMS.

- If you compile bomb successfully on another machine, please add it to
- the list.
