NAME

       ricochet - client application for multi-player ricochet robots game

SYNOPSIS

       ricochet --host <hostname> --port <port> --name <username> --game <gamename> --watch

DESCRIPTION

       Ricochet  is a client for the Ricochet Robots server (rrserve). It provides a view of the board and permits the user to fully interact with
       the server, both managing the set of games running in the server and playing individual games.

USAGE

       Options are as follows:

       --help,--usage
	      Print a help/usage message and exit.

       -h,--host hostname
	      Select the host running the Ricochet Robots server. By default, ricochet connects to localhost

       -p,--port port
	      Select the TCP port to connect to. By default, ricochet connects to port 5252.

       -n,--name username
	      Specify the player name to present to the server. This name will be shown to all other players. By default, this is the user's login
	      name.

       -g,--game  gamename
	      Select  a  game  to join or create. By default, ricochet presents a dialog showing the available games and also allowing the user to
	      create a new game.

       -w,--watch
	      This allows the user to watch the selected game rather than participating in it.

NAME

       xracer - A racing game in the style of Psygnosis' WipeOut

SYNOPSIS

       xracer  [  -h  |  --help  ]  [ -V | --version ] [ -v | --verbose ] [ [ -s | --size ] WIDTHxHEIGHT ] [ [ -p | --position ] LEFTxTOP ] [ -f |
       --fullscreen ] [ [ -j | --joystick ] DEVICE ] [ -L | --nomipmap ]

DESCRIPTION

       xracer is a 3D arcade game in the style of the Psygnosis game WipeOut. You have to fly around the track without crashing, shooting opposing
       craft where necessary, and arriving in first place.

       xracer requires a supported 3D hardware accelerator card and OpenGL or a compatible library such as Brian Paul's Mesa.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display the options and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print the current version number and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print verbose messages to stdout about the progress of the game. This can be a useful aid to debugging.

       -s, --size WIDTHxHEIGHT
	      Set the initial screen size.

       -p, --position LEFTxTOP
	      Set the position for the initial window placement.

       -f, --fullscreen
	      This option puts the game into full screen mode. In this mode, the game takes over the screen and keyboard.

       -j, --joystick DEVICE
	      Set joystick device name.

       -L, --nomipmap
	      Disable mipmapping.

FILES

       /usr/share/games/xracer

BUGS

       The  fullscreen	option	is  currently broken on 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 accelerator cards. Set the MESA_FX_GLX environment to get
       fullscreen on those boards.
