NAME
xracer - A racing game in the style of Psygnosis' WipeOut

SYNOPSIS
xracer [ -hvVsf ] [ --help ] [ --version ] [ --verbose ] [ --size WIDTHxHEIGHT ] [ --fullscreen ]

DESCRIPTION
xracer is a 3D arcade game in the style of the Psygnosis game WipeOut. You have to fly around the track without crashing, shooting opposing craft where necessary, and arriving in first place.

xracer requires a supported 3D hardware accelerator card and OpenGL or a compatible library such as Brian Paul's Mesa.

xracer can take a number of command line options. It is recommended that you use the --help option for a complete list. Only the common command line options are listed here.

The --version argument prints the current version number and exits.

The --verbose argument causes xracer to print lots of messages about its progress to stdout which can be a useful aid to debugging.

The --size option changes the initial screen size.

The --fullscreen option puts the game into full screen mode, if the hardware accelerator and drivers you are using support this. In this mode, the game takes over the screen and keyboard.

ENVIRONMENT
If XRacer cannot find its data files when it starts up, then you may need to set the environment variable XRACER_HOME to point to the directory which contains these data files.

VERSION
This manual page documents xracer version 0.96.9.
