[1mNAME
     [0mlife - The Game of LIFE (a program by David I Bell)

[1mSYNOPSIS
     /usr/games/life

DESCRIPTION
     [0mThis program plays the game of life on a practically infin-
     ite board by using sparse matrices.

     To terminate a game, type `:quit'; for help type `:help'.

     The directions for movement are like in rogue:

     h	   - move left
     l	   - move right
     k	   - move up
     j	   - move down

     The simplest commands for changing an object are:

     o	   - creates a live cell and moves the cursor to the right.
     x	   - creates a dead cell and moves the cursor to the right.
     t	   - toggles the current cell from dead to alive, or from alive to dead.

     Type `g' to compute the next generation and `G' to compute
     infinite generations.

     For a full description and instructions for play see
