burgerspace-server - UDP server for the networked version of BurgerSpace
SYNOPSIS
burgerspace-server
DESCRIPTION
burgerspace-server is a server that accepts connections from BurgerSpace clients to allow two players to compete with each other. One
player controls the chef and the other controls the egg. Other clients can connect as spectators.
burgerspace-server should be started in a terminal. To terminate it, give the Ctrl-C sequence or use the kill(1) command with the server's
process ID as the argument.
The connections use the UDP protocol. The --port option can be used to specify a non-default listening port (see below).
After the server has started, the user who wants to control the chef must start the client with this command:
burgerspace --server=the.server.hostname.com --chef
Use the appropriate hostname or IP address as the argument for --server. The user who wants to control the egg must give the --enemy
option instead of --chef. The --port option can be added to the burgerspace command-line to specify the server port, if the server was
started with a non-default UDP listening port.
OPTIONS --help display a help page and exit
--version
display version information and exit
--initial-level=N
start game at level N. Default is 1. N must be at least 1.
--port=PORT
UDP port number on which the server must listen for incoming clients. The default is 49152.

burgerspace - A hamburger-smashing video game
SYNOPSIS
burgerspace
DESCRIPTION
BurgerSpace is a game where you are a chef and you must walk over hamburger ingredients (buns, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese) to make
them fall from floor to floor, until they end up in the plates at the bottom of the screen. Use the arrow keys to move the chef.
However, you must do this while avoiding terrible enemies, such as eggs, sausages and pickles. You will die if they touch you, but you can
spray pepper on them with the Control key to paralyze them temporarily.
Use those pepper shots sparingly because you only have a limited number of them. Pick up the treat that appears from time to time to
obtain a new pepper shot.
A two-player game is possible using the (experimental) networked version of BurgerSpace. See the burgerspace-server(6) manual page or the
BurgerSpace Home Page for details.
Use the Escape key to quit the program. To pause the game (which is only possible in stand-alone mode), use the P key to pause the game
and to resume it afterwards.
GENERAL OPTIONS --help display a help page and exit
--version
display version information and exit
--no-sound
Disable the sound effects, which are enabled by default.
--full-screen
Attempt to use the full screen mode. The default is to display the game in an ordinary window.
--z-for-pepper
Use the Z key instead of the Control key to shoot pepper.
STAND-ALONE OPTIONS--initial-level=N
start game at level N. Default is 1. N must be at least 1.
--ms-per-frame=N
N milliseconds per animation frame. Default is 55. Minimum is 1. Maximum is 1000. 50 means 20 frames per second.
NETWORK CLIENT OPTIONS --server=HOSTNAME
Start as a client that connects to a BurgerSpace server running on the given host or IP address. Examples: --server=localhost,
--server=192.168.1.2 If this option is not given, the program starts as a stand-alone game that does not try to connect to any
server.
--port=PORT
UDP port number on which the BurgerSpace server is running. This option is only useful with --server. The default is 49152.
