13 The GGZ Gaming Zone allows people to play many games online using so-
14 called GGZ core clients which are chat clients with integrated game
15 launchers.
16
17 The ggz-wrapper tool is a small special GGZ core client for the command
18 line. It does not support chat or display of rooms, tables and players,
19 but instead is useful for fast launching of online games. Therefore,
20 its main purpose is to be invoked from instant messengers such as gaim
21 or kopete.
22
23 It currently supports all two-player games, as human against human or
24 human against bot. If no options are given, ggz-wrapper will invoke a
25 Tic-Tac-Toe game client on the default GGZ server, live.ggzgaming‐
26 zone.org, logging in as guest user.
27
29 --gametype=GAMENAME
30 The name of the game to play, e.g. TicTacToe or Chess. This
31 option expects a case-sensitive argument which must match one of
32 the available game modules in ggz.modules. If the game type is
33 not supported by the specified GGZ server, the invocation will
34 fail.
35
36 --user=NAME
37 The name of the player who is running the client. The default is
38 to run with an automatically generated guest user name. In order
39 to use a registered name, the option --password is implied.
40
41 --destnick=NAME
42 The name of the other player. If omitted or empty, the player
43 running the client will launch the table (game host). If empty,
44 other player will be the bot. If not empty, player will join
45 the table which the other player already launched.
46
47 --password=PASSWORD
48 Password to use in case of playing as a registered user. Note
49 that on a multi-user systems, other users might see the pass‐
50 word, which is a security risk.
51
52 --server=SERVER
53 The server to play on. If not specified, the default server is
54 ggz://live.ggzgamingzone.org.
55
56 --port=PORT
57 The port to use to connect to the GGZ server. PORT is almost
58 always 5688, so this option is rarely needed.
