ARMAGETRONAD(6) 						   Games Manual 						   ARMAGETRONAD(6)

NAME

       armagetronad - a 3D Tron-like high speed game

SYNOPSIS

       armagetronad  [-h,  --help]  [-v, --version] [--doc] [-f, --fullscreen] [-w, --window, --windowed] [--fastforward] [--benchmark] [--record]
       [--playback]

DESCRIPTION

       The rules are simple: you ride a lightcycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind  and  cannot
       be stopped). Avoid running into a wall. Make your opponent run into a wall.  This idea comes from the 1982 Disney movie "Tron".

       One  thing  is  different than in other Tron clones: you can accelerate.  However, there is a catch. The only way to accelerate is to drive
       close to player walls. This allows for some interesting tactics. Every time you make a turn, you lose 5% of your speed -- so don't  be  too
       nervous, speed is your only resource against other players!

       First  thing  you shold do is go into the "Player Menu" to set your name and your keyboard and mouse configuration. Then, go into the "Game
       Menu" and start a single player game against one AI opponent (the game mode does not really matter here). Then, get some  friends  together
       and try the multiplayer modes!

       SHIFT-ESC is the "boss key" and quits Armagetron as fast as possible.

NAME

       tennix -- A funny 2D tennis game with network play support

SYNOPSIS

       tennix [options]

DESCRIPTION

       tennix is a top-view 2D tennis game. It features a two-player game mode and a single-player mode against the computer.

       This is the SDL port of a DOS game written in 2003. The original game can still be found on the web at http://thp.io/2003/tennix/

CONTROLS

       You  can  select the controls directly in the menu. Usually, in two-player game mode, player 1 plays using W, S, D, E, F and player 2 plays
       using O, L, K, I, J. You can also play using mouse, gamepad or Joystick.

       When using network play, you have to configure your opponent with the input device "Network player", and make sure that the  opponent  does
       the same thing (but in reverse).
