NAME

       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.
