NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       ggz-wrapper  [--gametype  GAMENAME]  [--user  NAME]  [--destnick  NAME]
10       [OPTION...]
11

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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.
