+Welcome to Micro Snake, based on an original implementation by Simon Huggins.
+Current maintainer is Joachim Nilsson.
+
+The theme started with Micro Tetris continues with this version of the snake
+(worm) game.  It is very small and only utilizes ANSI escape sequences to draw
+the board. Hence it is very suitable for todays small embedded devices.
+
+The game is available both as a GIT source control archive and as traditional
+tarball releases from FTP:
+
+	git clone git://github.com/troglobit/snake.git
+	ftp://troglobit.com/snake/
+
+See the file AUTHORS for contact information.
+
+The following is an adapation of the description from Simon's home page at
+http://www.simonhuggins.com/courses/cbasics/course_notes/snake.htm
+
+Introduction
+============
+Snake is a video game released during the mid 1970s and has maintained
+popularity since then, becoming somewhat of a classic.  The first known
+microcomputer version of Snake, titled 'Worm', was programmed in 1978 by
+P. Trefonas (USA) on the TRS-80 computer, and published by CLOAD magazine the
+same year. This was followed shortly afterwards with versions from the same
+author for the PET and Apple II computers. A microcomputer port of Hustle was
+first written by P. Trefonas in 1979 and published by CLOAD magazine [2]. This
+was later released by Milton Bradley for the TI-99/4A in 1980.

+
+Playing the game
+================
+The aim of the game is to collect the gold ($), avoid cactuses (*), borders,
+and colliding with the snake itself. As you collect gold, the snake gets
+longer, thus increasing the likelihood of crashing into yourself.  When you
+have collected all gold you are abruptly hauled to the next level.  For each
+new level the snake gets longer and the amount of gold and cactuses increases.
+
+You get scored according to the length of the snake and the number of cactuses
+on the screen.  The speed increases every 5 levels.
+
+You get a bonus of 1000 points when you complete each level.
+
+There is no concept of lives. Once you hit an obstacle, that's it, game over.
+
+To move the snake:
+
+   a    - Up,
+   z    - Down,
+   o    - Left
+   p    - Right
+
+   f    - Left turn
+   j    - Right turn
+
+   q    - Quit the game at any time.
+
+There is a define in snake.h you can change if you want to alter these
+settings.  Make sure you do not have caps lock on, otherwise the keys will
+fail to respond.
+
+The Code
+========
+The orignal version of the source code is available as the first commit of the
+official Git repository.  It was reasonably well structured, but, as the
+original author admints, by no means perfect.  Hey, what code is?
+
+Note that Simon's original uses library functions that are not available on
+all systems -- it was designed using Borland C++ Builder / Turbo C in
+DOS/Windows.
+
+Many of these shortcomings in the original have been adressed through extensive
+refactoring during the porting effort to GNU/Linux.  There have also been some
+radical design changes to improve the overall game feeling.
