💖 BILLARD-GL 💖

ok so this is the manual page for billard-gl, and it lives in the Games Manual section, section 6, iykyk ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

billard-gl — an OpenGL billiards game, no cap 🎱

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

billard-gl [options]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay bestie, here's the tea ☕ this manual page is documenting the billard-gl program. And listen — this page was written for Debian specifically because the original program literally does not have a manual page of its own. so we made one. you're welcome 🫶

billard-gl implements a game of 8- or 9-ball billiards, and you can play it against the computer or against a friend 🌈 The general idea of billiards, in case you're new here, is that you hit the coloured balls with the cue ball in such a way that these balls fall in one of the six pockets of the table. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -f, -fullscreen — switches to fullscreen mode. heads up tho: this currently can not be changed from inside billard-gl itself 🫣
• -f, -windowed — switches to windowed mode, which is the default. and same deal: this currently can not be changed from inside billard-gl itself 🙈
• -t VALUE — texture size for the balls. valid values are 1 for full size textures, 2 for half size textures, 4 for quarter size textures, and 8 for eighth size textures ⭐
• -tt VALUE — texture size for the table. valid values are 1 for full size textures, 2 for half size textures, 4 for quarter size textures, 8 for eighth size textures, and 0 for no textures 🍓
• -at VALUE — texture size for the display. valid values are 1 for full size textures and 2 for halfsized textures ✨
• -g VALUE — ball geometry; odd numbers >= 3. higher values create more complex geometry 👑

if you wanna run billard-gl with minimum settings, try this:

billard-gl -t 8 -tt 0 -at 2 -g 3

or for maximum settings, try this:

billard-gl -t 1 -tt 1 -at 1 -g 11

and fr fr, all of the options are configurable from within billard-gl itself, unless stated otherwise 💜
