Stormbaan Coureur(6)													      Stormbaan Coureur(6)

NAME

       stormbaancoureur - simulated obstacle course for automobiles

SYNOPSIS

       stormbaancoureur [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Your objective is to drive your car along an obstacle course. Success depends on total control of the car. If you want to master it, try to
       have the laws of physics work with you, not against you.

OPTIONS

       stormbaancoureur accepts the standard glutInit options for your system.

       The X Window System specific options parsed by glutInit are as follows:

       -display DISPLAY
		  Specify the X server to connect to. If not specified, the value of the DISPLAY environment variable is used.

       -geometry W x H + X + Y
	      Determines where window's should be created on the screen. The parameter following -geometry should be formatted	as  a  standard  X
	      geometry	specification. The effect of using this option is to change the GLUT initial size and initial position the same as if glu-
	      tInitWindowSize or glutInitWindowPosition were called directly.

       -iconic
	      Requests all top-level windows be created in an iconic state.

       -indirect
	      Force the use of indirect OpenGL rendering contexts.

       -direct
	      Force the use of direct OpenGL rendering contexts (not all GLX implementations support direct rendering contexts). A fatal error	is
	      generated if direct rendering is not supported by the OpenGL implementation.

	      If  neither  -indirect or -direct are used to force a particular behavior, GLUT will attempt to use direct rendering if possible and
	      otherwise fallback to indirect rendering.

       -gldebug
	      After processing callbacks and/or events, check if there are any OpenGL errors by calling glGetError. If an error is reported, print
	      out a warning by looking up the error code with gluErrorString. Using this option is helpful in detecting   OpenGL run-time errors.

       -sync  Enable synchronous X protocol transactions. This option makes it easier to track down potential	X protocol errors.

       Debian-specific options:

       -fullscreen
	      Run the game in fullscreen mode

       -window
	      Run the game inside a window
