NAME

       gameclock - a simple game clock

SYNOPSIS

       gameclock

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gameclock command.

       gameclock  is  a  simple application designed to track the time spent thinking by the players during a chess game. Various ways of tracking
       time are supported, with only `countdown' (aka `blitz') and `fisher' for now. The graphical interface is keyboard driven and is intended to
       be minimal and simple. The code is made to be extensible to other game types.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (--).  A summary of options is included
       below.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options. This includes the program's version and license.

       -v, --verbose
	      Show progress information to standard output. More `-v' will display more information: timestamps then game state engine.

       -f, --fullscreen
	      Start the application in fullscreen mode.

KEYBINDINGS

       Most of the interface is keyboard-driven, apart from the initial clock and game configuration.

       space  start the game / end turn

       shift keys
	      end the turn, but only for the appropriate side (left or right side)

       p      pause game

       control-r, escape
	      reset game - this resets all counters and clocks to the initial configuration, use this to restart the game.

       f      toggle the fullscreen mode

       control-q
	      quit application
