=head1 NAME



moo - play a game of MOO



=head1 SYNOPSIS



moo [size]



=head1 DESCRIPTION



I<moo> is a game where the user has to guess a number choosen by

the computer. By default, the computer takes a number of four digits

(including 0's), but that can be changed by giving I<moo> the number of

digits to take.  After each guess, the number of B<bull>s and B<cow>s

is displayed.  A B<bull> is a correctly guessed digit, in the right

place, while a B<cow> is a correct digit, not in the right place. Once

a game has finished because all the digits have been guessed correctly,

a new game will be started. Exiting the program can be done by typing

'q' or 'Q' on a guess, or hitting the interrupt key (usually control-C).



=head2 OPTIONS



The only option I<moo> takes is optional, and is the number of digits to

use for the number to guess.



=head1 ENVIRONMENT



The working of I<moo> is not influenced by any environment variables.



=head1 BUGS



I<moo> does not have any known bugs.



=head1 AUTHOR



The Perl implementation of I<moo> was written by Abigail, I<perlpowertools@abigail.be>.
