💖 1oom_classic_sdl2 — the girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie, so this is a manual page for the 1oom_classic_sdl2 command, and it lives in the Games Manual section (section 6, for the record 👑). Buckle up, it's short but it's cute.

✨ NAME ✨

1oom_classic_sdl2 — it's the SDL2 frontend for 1oom, which is itself a reimplementation of Master of Orion. frontend-ception, I know 😭

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

1oom [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just the command and whatever options you wanna throw at it 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this page is a brief lil' rundown of the 1oom_classic_sdl2 command — like the sparknotes version, not the whole novel, no cap.

Here's the lore: 1oom is a re-implementation of the game engine from the classic Master of Orion game. That original was developed by Simtex Software and published by Microprose all the way back in 1993 ✨ and 1oom_classic_sdl2 is the SDL2 frontend sitting on top of that engine. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🌈 FILES 🌈

Heads up bestie, this one's important: 1oom requires a copy of the Master of Orion (v1.3) LBX files. No files, no game, it's giving tragedy 😭

Wanna know if your files are the right ones? Check /usr/share/doc/1oom/lbxmd5.txt for the expected MD5sums. the receipts are all there 🧾

Per the XDG standard, 1oom will check these directories for the LBX files, in order (so first match wins, bestie):

1. $XDG_DATA_HOME/1oom
2. $XDG_DATA_DIRS/1oom
3. ~/.local/share/1oom
4. /usr/share/games/master-of-orion
5. /usr/share/1oom
6. /usr/local/share/1oom

and if none of those spark joy, you can override the whole thing and point at your own path for the LBX files by passing the command-line argument -data <path> when you run 1oom 🫶 The path you give gets saved to the configuration file, so you only have to say it once. slay 💅
