+
+<p>robotfindskitten is a Zen simulation. robot must find kitten
+in an area full of non-kitten items. The original version was
+written in 1997 by the illustrious Leonard Richardson for the Nerth
+Pork robotfindskitten contest. This Maemo port was written by
+Thomas Thurman in 2009.</p>

+<h2>Moving robot around</h2>
+
+<p>There are three ways to move robot around. Firstly, you may tap
+on any side of robot to move robot in that direction, including
+diagonally.</p>
+
+<p>Secondly, you may use the arrow keys on the keyboard. However,
+this does not allow you to move diagonally.</p>
+
+<p>Thirdly, you may use the vi keys (also called the nethack keys).
+They are:</p>
+<center>
+<big><big><pre>
+y k u
+h · l
+b j n
+</pre></big></big>
+</center>
+</p>
+
+<h2>Run, robot, run!</h2>
+<p>If you are controlling robot with the keyboard, then holding
+down Shift as you move will make robot run until meeting
+an item or the wall.</p>
+
+<h2>Adding new non-kitten items</h2>
+<p>There is no way to do this. It should be in the next release.</p>
+
+<h2>Background</h2>
+<p>"Day and night I feverishly worked upon the
+machine, creating both a soul which could desire
+its goal, and a body with which it could realize
+it. Many who saw my creation called it an
+abomination, and denied me grant money. But they
+could not dissuade me from my impossible task. It
+was a spectre that tormented me always, a ghost I
+had to give a form and a life, lest it consume me
+from the inside. And when at last my task was
+done, when the grey box on wheels was complete and
+when it, as well as I, knew what had to be done, I
+felt deep sympathy for the machine. For I had not
+destroyed the phantom, but merely exorcized it
+into another body. The robot knew not why this
+task had to be performed, for I could not imbue it
+with knowledge I did not myself posess. And at the
+same time, I felt a sweeping sense of relief sweep
+over me, that somehow, the dream that had driven
+me for my entire life had come one step closer to
+fruition. "As I vocally activated the robot, I
+realized that it was following my instructions,
+but not out of any desire to obey me. Had I
+remained silent, it would have performed
+exactly the same operations. We were two beings
+controlled by the same force now. And yet, seeking
+vainly to hold some illusion of control over the
+machine I thought I had created, I gave my final
+command.</p>
+
+<p>"`GO!' I told the box as it began to roll out of
+my workshop into the frozen desert beyond. `FIND
+KITTEN!'"</p>
