NAME

       gl-117 - an OpenGL action flight simulator

SYNOPSIS

       gl-117 [-dlevel -h -v]

DESCRIPTION

       gl-117  is an OpenGL and SDL based action flight simulator written in ISO C++.  Enter the Eagle Squadron and succeed in several challanging
       missions leading though different landscapes.  Five predefined levels of video quality and an amount of viewing ranges  let  you  perfectly
       adjust the game to the performance of your system.  The game provides joystick and mouse support, sound effects, and music.

OPTIONS

       -dlevel
	      Set  the debug level to level in [0..5]. '0' means quiet and will avoid any output, '1' will log fatal errors causing the program to
	      crash on stderr, '2' will also print exceptions on stderr, '3' will add warnings on stdout, '4' prints additional information  (pre-
	      defined) on stdout, and '5' gives developer specific messages on stdout.

       -h     Print a short summary on stdout and then quit immediately.

       -v     Display the version number of gl-117 and then quit immediately.

CONFIGURATION

       gl-117  uses  a predefined working directory ".gl-117" in the user's home directory to load and store all savegame files and read the plain
       text configuration files "conf" and "conf.interface".  If there are no config files available, gl-117 will create them using standard  set-
       tings. The contents of the files are quite self-explanatory.

DOCUMENTATION

       Please look at the gl-117 user manual (gl-117.pdf) for installation instructions and further gameplay related descriptions.
