NAME

       enigma - Puzzle game reminiscent of Oxyd

SYNOPSIS

       enigma [options] [levelfile.xml] ...
       enigma  [--assert]  [-d	path]  [--help]  [-l lang] [--log] [--nograb] [--nomusic] [--nosound] [-p file] [--showfps] [--version] [-w] [lev-
       elfile.xml] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The object of the game is to find and uncover pairs of identically colored Oxyd stones. Simple? Yes. Easy? Certainly  not!   Hidden  traps,
       vast mazes, laser beams, and, most of all, countless hairy puzzles usually block your direct way to the Oxyd stones.  Enigma's game objects
       (and there are hundreds of them, lest you get bored) interact in many unexpected ways, and since many of them follow the  laws  of  physics
       (Enigma's special laws of physics, that is), controlling them with the mouse isn't always trivial ...

       For more information, please refer to the manual or the project homepage: <http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/>!

OPTIONS

       --assert
	      Forces all debugging assertions, even expensive ones, to be evaluated.

       --nosound
	      Start Enigma without sound effects.

       -p file, --pref=file

NAME

       xvier - a X11 board game.

SYNOPSIS

       xvier  [ -display displayname ] [ -geometry geometry ] [ -fn fontpattern ] [ -iconic ] [ -rows rows ] [ -columns columns ] [ -prog program-
       path ] [ -level levelnumber ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xvier is a board game where you and the computer alternately throw stones into free columns. The stones pile up in  the	columns,  and  the
       goal is to get four stones in a row, in a column or diagonally. You can choose various board sizes and levels of difficulty.

       During  the  game  you click with the mouse onto the column where you want to put your stone. Another possibility is a lower case letter in
       the range 'a' to 'm' (maximally) where 'a' is the left column. If you want to change the level of difficulty, you must  use  the  keyboard.
       Simply  type  the  number of the desired level. These levels correspond to the search depth of the game program. The meaning of the command
       line options and buttons is given below.

       While the game program computes a move, everything besides Change and Quit is blocked.

OPTIONS

       -display displayname
	      The X11 screen you want to use.

       -geometry geometry
	      The desired geometry of the game window.

       -fn fontpattern
	      A pattern describing the fonts which are used for the buttons and messages.  Xvier chooses the biggest font that fits into the  win-
	      dow. Therefore the pattern should describe different sizes of one font. The default is *-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal-*.

       -iconic
	      Start in iconic state.

       -rows rows
	      The number of rows of the board. The possible range is 4 to 13. The default is 6.

       -columns columns
	      The number of columns of the board. The possible range is 4 to 13. The default is 7.

       -prog programpath
	      The path of the game program.

       -level levelnumber
	      The level of difficulty to start with. The possible range is 0 to 9.  The default is 0.

BUTTONS

       The keyboard equivalents of the buttons are given in brackets.

       Quit ['q' or 'Q']   Finish the game.

       New ['n' or 'N']    Start a new game.

       Undo ['u' or 'U']   Undo one move.

       Start ['s' or 'S']  Let the computer begin with the first move. The board must be empty.

       Change ['C']	   Exchange the colours of your and the computer's stones.
