slotcar - a networked slot car racing game for any number of players.
Slotcar is a networked slot car racing game for any number of players. slotcar -h will print out a usage message explaining all of the options. A Startup screen explains a little bit about the game. A couple of features that are not yet explained in the Startup screen are:
Pressing the 'A' key while playing will toggle on and off the annotation above each of the other cars saying who they are. Using the -g command line option with an odd-numbered game number will give a short race course.
Using an even-numbered game number will give a longer race course.
Omitting the -g option will default to game 0 with the longer race course.
-r 1-8 | Number of robot cars (default 0) |
-n name | Your name (maximum 15 characters, default is login). |
-c 1-8 | Desired car number (chosen randomly by default) |
-g 1-100 | Private game from 1 to 100. |
-s | Single-player mode (no network stuff). |
-q | Play the game quietly (no sound). |
-h | Print out this message. |
NOTE: The Windows version of slotcar displays an "Options" button on the startup screen. Clicking this button brings up a dialog box that allows you to modify most of the above options.
