🌸 NAME 🌸

jclic — the standalone player of multimedia educational activities. that's her. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

jclic [OPTION]... [FILE]

that's it. that's the whole incantation. an optional pile of options, an optional file, and you're off 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk: this manual page describes the jclic command briefly. it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, and it only contains the description of the basic options. so if you're like "bestie where's the rest" — it's not here, that's not what this page is.

For full manuals and documentation please visit: http://clic.xtec.cat and http://projectestac.github.io/jclic

so. JClic is formed by a set of computer applications that are used for carrying out different types of educational activities: puzzles, associations, text exercises, crosswords... 🧩 these activities are packed in projects. and a project is formed by a set of activities plus one or more sequences, which indicate the order in which they have to be shown. so the sequence is the main character running the show, periodt.

JClic is able to play JClic projects, that should have extension *.jclic.zip or *.jclic. she can also run installer macros of JClic projects, with extension *.jclic.inst, and — throwback era — import packages of activities made with the old "Clic 3.0" software, that have extension *.pcc and *.pac. ancestral lore fr fr 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, no skipping, no merging, we respect every single one of them. let's go 💖

• -trace=true — shows in a terminal some debug information for the application. like when you need her to tell you what's going on in her head 🔥
• -language=code — the ISO 639 code of the language used by JClic in system messages and menus. e.g.: "pt" to indicate Portuguese.
• -country=code — an optional ISO 3166-1 code specifying a local variant of the language, e.g.: "BR" to indicate Brazilian Portuguese.
• -variant=name — an optional variable that can be used in conjunction with the preceding two, e.g.: "-language=ca -country=ES -variant=valencia" for the Valencian variant of Catalan. the trio ate that combo 💜
• -skin=name — the type of visual interface used by JClic at start. the stock skins provided by JClic are: @default.xml @blue.xml @orange.xml @green.xml @simple.xml @mini.xml. Note that stock skin names are always preceeded by "@". Otherwise, you must indicate a full or relative path to an XML file implementing the JClic Skin Schema. For more info see: https://github.com/projectestac/jclic/blob/master/xml/skin.xsd
• -systemSounds=true|false — this option indicates if JClic must play or not system sounds. 🔊
• -compressImages=true|false — this option decides if JClic will compress images in order to make it to fit into the cells. Default is true.
• -lookAndFeel=value — the Java Look&Feel to be used by JClic. Possible values are default system metal motif and windows. Default is "system".
• -audioEnabled=true|false — this option allows to enable or disable the sounds in JClic.
• -mediaSystem=JMF|QT — the preferred multimedia system: "JMF" for Java Media Framework or "QT" for QuickTime.
• -reporter=class — the name of the Java class used by the reports engine of JClic, e.g.: "TCPReporter". Classes belonging to "edu.xtec.jclic.report" can safely ommit the package name. (yes, "ommit" — that's how the page spells it, we don't touch it 🫶)
• -reporterParams=parameters — the parameters passed to the reports engine. This option can have multiple key-value pairs inside, separated by semi-colons. E.g.:

jclic -reporter=TCPReporter -reporterParams="path=localhost:9000/reports;user=john"

The main parameters used by the stock reporter classes are:

🎀 Main parameters used in the stock reporter classes 🎀

• user — User id in the reports system.
• key — A special key that will be saved in the database. This kind of keys are used in the Moodle module of JClic to store session values.
• context — Another special key that will be saved in the database. It can indicate, for example, the type of course where the activities are being done.
• path — In TCPReporter only, complete path to the reports server, e.g.: "localhost:9000/reports"
• protocol — In TCPReporter only, protocol to be used to communicate with the reports server. Possible values are "http" and "https" (since JClic 0.2.2.0)
• lap — In TCPReporter, number of seconds between successive calls to the reports server. Default is 20 seconds.
