.TH XCONQ 6
.SH NAME
xconq - X-based configurable strategy game
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B
xconq
[ options ] ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIxconq\fP is a configurable multi-player strategy game.
.PP
By default, \fIxconq\fP
starts up with one human (on the display in $DISPLAY) and one
machine, playing on a randomly generated 60x30 world. Options are
available to set numbers and kinds of players, as well as the
kind of map used. In addition, \fIxconq\fP has extensive and
elaborate facilities for building maps, scenarios, and sets of rules,
allowing for a wide variety of games.
.SH OPTIONS
The following options are X-specific:
.TP 5
.I host:display[+advant]
adds a human player to the game and assigns to the given host and display.
Players get created in the same order as they appear on the command line,
interleaved with the players created via \fB-e\fP and \fB-A\fP.
All of the player adding options may be used any number of times in any order.
.TP 5
.B \-A \fIhost:display\fP
attaches a machine player to the given display. Ideal for those who like
to watch.
.TP 5
.B \-x
allows scenarios, maps, periods, and players to be set up interactively
via menus. The menus should be self-explanatory.
The following options apply to both \fIxconq\fP and \fIcconq\fP:
.so ../kernel/cmdline.6in
.SH "X DEFAULTS"
.TP 10
.B TextFont
Font for all text.
.TP 10
.B IconFont
Font for miscellaneous pictures.
.TP 10
.B UnitFont
Font containing pictures of units (optional).
.B HelpFont
Font for the help pages.
.so ../kernel/misc.6in
\fI/usr/games/lib/xconq/*.bdf\fP X11 uncompiled fonts
.br
\fI/usr/games/lib/xconq/*.snf\fP X11 compiled fonts
.br
.so ../kernel/diagnost.6in
.so ../kernel/bugs.6in
If a given display cannot be opened because \fIxhost(1)\fP was not run,
\fIxconq\fP will die, usually with a "broken pipe" error.
