NAME

       burgerspace-server - UDP server for the networked version of BurgerSpace

SYNOPSIS

       burgerspace-server

DESCRIPTION

       burgerspace-server  is  a  server  that	accepts  connections from BurgerSpace clients to allow two players to compete with each other. One
       player controls the chef and the other controls the egg. Other clients can connect as spectators.

       burgerspace-server should be started in a terminal. To terminate it, give the Ctrl-C sequence or use the kill(1) command with the  server's
       process ID as the argument.

       The connections use the UDP protocol. The --port option can be used to specify a non-default listening port (see below).

       After the server has started, the user who wants to control the chef must start the client with this command:

       burgerspace --server=the.server.hostname.com --chef

       Use  the  appropriate  hostname	or  IP	address as the argument for --server.  The user who wants to control the egg must give the --enemy
       option instead of --chef.  The --port option can be added to the burgerspace command-line to specify the server port,  if  the  server  was
       started with a non-default UDP listening port.

OPTIONS

       --help display a help page and exit

       --version
	      display version information and exit

       --initial-level=N
	      start game at level N.  Default is 1.  N must be at least 1.

       --port=PORT
	      UDP port number on which the server must listen for incoming clients.  The default is 49152.

NAME

       bubbros-client - the bub-n-bros client

SYNOPSIS

       bubbros-client [ options ] [host[:port]]

DESCRIPTION

       This is the bub-n-bros client that connects to bub-n-bros servers started with bubbros-server(6) or bubbros(6).	It supports many different
       audio and video drivers and is very multi-platform.

OPTIONS

       host   Search for a game on the given machine, and connect to one if found.  If this is not defined, search for servers on the  local  net-
	      work.

       host:port
	      Connect to server running on given port on given host. If this is not defined, search for servers on the local network.

       --bits=N
	      This option concerns only the windows audio driver. Set bits per sample. Valid values are 8 and 16 (default).

       -d DRIVER, --display=DRIVER
	      Use video driver DRIVER.	Valid drivers are:

	      X      X Window driver for Linux and Unix systems with an X server running. See the --shm option.

	      windows
		     MS Windows driver.

	      pygame PyGame  gaming library for python (if installed) has video output. Use it if this is specified. See http://www.pygame.org and
		     the --transparency option.

	      gtk    Use the PyGTK library (if installed). See http://www.pygtk.org/ and the --zoom option.

       -h, --help
	      Display help.

       --fmt=format
	      This option concerns only the linux audio driver. Set the sound data format. Defaults to S16_NE.	You can get a  list  of  supported
	      formats with --fmt=list.

       --freq=N
	      This option concerns only the linux and windows audio drivers. Set mixing frequency to N (in Hz). Defaults to 44100.

       -m, --metaserver
	      Connect  with the help of the Metaserver (see bubbros-server(1) for more info).  Run bubbros-client -m to print a table of currently
	      running servers, pick the the exact IP address and port of the server of your choice from the table, and run again bubbros-client -m
	      host:port.

       --port TCP=port
	      In  conjunction  with  the -m option, force a specific port on which to listen for an incoming TCP connexion from the remote server.
	      This is only used if a direct connexion to the server fails.  A random port number is picked by default.	This option is	useful	if
	      you are behind a firewall but can let TCP connexions on specific ports reach you.

       --port UDP=port
	      Force a specific port on which to listen for incoming UDP traffic (animation data).  Useful if you are behind a firewall but can let
	      UDP traffic on a given port pass through.  This is optional: animation data is routed over the TCP link if it  does  not	appear	to
	      reach the client.  A random port number is picked by default.

       -s DRIVER, --sound=DRIVER
	      Use driver DRIVER for audio. Valid drivers are:

	      pygame Use the audio capabilities of the PyGame library (http://www.pygame.org).

	      linux  Use the linux audio mixer. See the --freq and --fmt options.

	      windows
		     Use the Windows audio mixer. See the --freq and --bitsoptions.

	      off    No sounds.

       --shm=yes, --shm=no
	      This  option  concerns only the X display driver.  Disable or enable the shm (Shared Memory) extension. It is enabled by default and
	      should only be disabled for remote X connections and old X servers.

       -t     Use the TCP protocol. The default is to autodetect the protocol. See the -u option.

       --transparency=yes, --transparency=no
	      This option concerns only the pygame display driver. Disable or enable transparent bubbles. Enabled by default. Disabling makes game
	      a bit faster.

       -u     Use the UDP protocol. The default is to autodetect the protocol. See the -t option.

       --zoom=N%
	      This option concerns only the gtk display driver. Scale output by N%.
