Lightbulb Possible Arcade Cabinet Application of the Raspberry Pi
Hi guys,
My name is Ryan. I'm from Providence, Rhode Island. A friend and I are working on a homemade video game cabinet design in the style of classic arcade games from the late seventies to nineties. We're designing a system that allows people to play these original games on their original hardware, as they would have 20-30 years ago, (as opposed to an emulator,) because we have a tremendous passion for the 'golden age' of arcade gaming. We also have a passion for open source and the UNIX culture, which is why we've decided to use Raspberry Pi systems for our data relay.
We're extremely excited about this project. We've been talking with programmers from around the world about the theory of this device, and now we're looking for UNIX pros to help us bring it all together.
If you want to see some more about the project, check out the thread on the Raspberry Pi forums under 'Projects and Collaboration'.

ATTN: This is NOT a job posting. We're looking for anyone and everyone who's interested in the project to help us out with designing and coding the system. When we started the project, we couldn't find anyone who's done this kind of thing before, and we'd love to have it available to whoever wants to build off it in the future Smilie

crossfire(6)						   CrossFire Game Server Manual 					      crossfire(6)

NAME

       CrossFire - a multiplayer adventure and arcade game server

SYNOPSIS

       crossfire-server [-<options>]

DESCRIPTION

       CrossFire  is  a  multiplayer  graphical  arcade and adventure game, which has certain flavours from other games, especially Gauntlet (TM),
       NetHack, Moria, Angband, and Ragnarok.  Any number of players can move around in their own window, finding and  using  items  and  battling
       monsters.  They can choose to cooperate or compete in the same world.

       CrossFire  runs as a client/server model. You will also need one of the clients to play. With them you can either connect to a server some-
       one else has set up, or run your own server and connect to that. At now clients exit for the X-Windows, GTK, Java, and Windows NT  environ-
       ment.

OPTIONS

       -csport <port number>
	      Specifies the port to that should be used for the client/server connection.

       -d     Turns on some debugging.

       +d     Turns off debugging. Useful if DEBUG was defined at compile time.

       -detach
	      This will run the server as a demon.

       -h     Prints out a list of server options.

       -log <file>
	      Specifies a file to send output to.  Only has meaning if -detach is specified.
