NAME

xmemory - game of memory for several player  

SYNOPSIS

xmemory [small|normal|big] ([display]/[color])*  

DESCRIPTION

XMemory is a multi player memory game. It is played simultaenously on several X Displays, which have to be listed on the command-line. To run properly, the access to the selected X Displays must be allowed. This can be achieved in the usual manner by running xhost on the desired displays.

 

Rules

Like in the traditional memory game, the players have to find similar tiles on the table to get the tiles. The main change in this version is, that the players play simultaenously and therefor the whole game gets some kind of an action game.

Opening a tile leads to a lock of the tile for about 3 seconds when opening the first tile. 1 second after opening the second tile, both tiles flip back and therefor are accessable again for all other players.

Winner is the player who collected the most matching tiles.

 

Size Options

small:
4x5 grid
normal:
8x9 grid
big:
11x12 grid
 

Player Specification

The List of players is a list of the display names. If desired, a color can be selected for a display by concatinating a slash and the name of the color after the display name, e.g. hgr3:0.0/brown.

 

Fonts

The program tries to use scalable fonts on the displays. If the fonts are not found or don't look pretty, check out if the fontserver fs is running on the display.

 

EXAMPLE

xmemory normal genesis:0.0/red barcley:0.0/blue
