\subsection{xrick}
\screenshot{plugins/images/ss-xrick}{xrick}{img:xrick}

Xrick is a clone of the platform game \emph{'Rick Dangerous'}
(\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Dangerous}),
originally written by 'BigOrno'
(\url{http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/}),
modified and ported to Rockbox by Pierluigi Vicinanza
(\url{https://github.com/pierluigi-vicinanza/xrick}).

Walk through the maps, avoid traps, kill the Bad Guys... and
try to stay alive long enough to accomplish your mission!

Rick can fire bullets, lay sticks of dynamite, walk, crawl,
climb, and also poke walls or Bad Guys with his stick.
Poking walls can trigger traps, open doors, etc. although
sometimes a dynamite stick or a bullet is needed.
Go figure.

\subsubsection{Getting started}
For the game to run you need the data files at \url{https://download.rockbox.org/useful/xrick-data.zip}.  Extract the \fname{xrick-data.zip} archive into the top-level directory of your \dap.

\subsubsection{Controls}
By holding down \emph{Fire} and pressing \emph{Left} or \emph{Right},
you can poke a wall (or anything else) with your stick.
By holding down \emph{Fire} and pressing \emph{Down}, you can lay a stick of dynamite.
By holding down \emph{Fire} and pressing \emph{Up}, you can fire a bullet.

Throughout the game, use these buttons to control Rick:
