- README -- xpipeman
-
- Xpipeman is a game of skill requiring the user to connect together
- pieces of a pipe to allow a liquid to flow through without
- leaking out. The aim of the game is to connect as many pieces of pipe
- to the start block as possible before the liquid flows out of the
- end on the pipe (see manual page for further details).

- ------
-
- Compiling Details:
-
- xpipeman can be compiled by either using the Imakefile or by using the
- hand generated Makefile.tra.
-
- Compile time parameters:
-
- MAXSCORES -- the number of high scores that you want to keep.
- The default is 20.
-
- The default directory for the binary and score file is the current
- directory. You'll have to modify the makefile or copy the binary
- if you want it to install elsewhere. xpipeman will attempt to
- create the scorefile (SCOREFILE) at runtime.
-
- There is a little bsd-ish stuff in score.c. flock is used to stop a race
- condition. If you don't have a bsd-like flock, you could probably
- comment it out. The race condition (multiple users writing to the
- score file) is probably rare. If SYSV is defined, this will be ifndef'd
- out.
-
- If your compiling this under X11R3, define the term R3 in the makefile or
- imakefile. This will make the include references look like those expected
- by X11R3 instead of X11R4.
