NAME

       ricochet - client application for multi-player ricochet robots game

SYNOPSIS

       ricochet --host <hostname> --port <port> --name <username> --game <gamename> --watch

DESCRIPTION

       Ricochet  is  a  client  for  the  Ricochet  Robots server (rrserve). It provides a view of the board and
       permits the user to fully interact with the server, both managing the set of games running in the  server
       and playing individual games.

USAGE

       Options are as follows:

       --help,--usage
              Print a help/usage message and exit.

       -h,--host hostname
              Select the host running the Ricochet Robots server. By default, ricochet connects to localhost

       -p,--port port
              Select the TCP port to connect to. By default, ricochet connects to port 5252.

       -n,--name username
              Specify the player name to present to the server. This name will be shown to all other players. By
              default, this is the user's login name.

       -g,--game  gamename
              Select  a  game  to  join  or create. By default, ricochet presents a dialog showing the available
              games and also allowing the user to create a new game.

       -w,--watch
              This allows the user to watch the selected game rather than participating in it.
