12 gl-117 is an OpenGL and SDL based action flight simulator written in
13 ISO C++. Enter the Eagle Squadron and succeed in several challanging
14 missions leading though different landscapes. Five predefined levels
15 of video quality and an amount of viewing ranges let you perfectly
16 adjust the game to the performance of your system. The game provides
17 joystick and mouse support, sound effects, and music.

21 Set the debug level to level in [0..5]. '0' means quiet and will
22 avoid any output, '1' will log fatal errors causing the program
23 to crash on stderr, '2' will also print exceptions on stderr,
24 '3' will add warnings on stdout, '4' prints additional informa‐
25 tion (predefined) on stdout, and '5' gives developer specific
26 messages on stdout.
27 -h Print a short summary on stdout and then quit immediately.
29 -v Display the version number of gl-117 and then quit immediately.

33 gl-117 uses a predefined working directory ".gl-117" in the user's home
34 directory to load and store all savegame files and read the plain text
35 configuration files "conf" and "conf.interface". If there are no con‐
36 fig files available, gl-117 will create them using standard settings.
37 The contents of the files are quite self-explanatory.
