🎮 bumprace — it's giving arcade 💖

okay bestie, so you know how there's this little game called bumprace and it's a simple arcade game? yeah. that one. this is its manual page, and the manual page lives in the Games Manual section, which is section 6, which is why every time you look it up you type bumprace(6). iconic behavior honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

bumprace — a simple arcade game

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

bumprace [-f | --fullscreen] [-w | --windowed] [-s | --nosound] [-n |
--notfinal] [-t | --noparticles] [-o | --nofadeout] [--precision]
[-h | --help]

like. that's the whole vibe. a bunch of flags and you. no positional args, no drama, just flags. we love a low-maintenance queen. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the bumprace command.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/bumprace/README.

bumprace a simple arcade game.

fr fr that's it. that's the description. the original manpage is a woman of few words and honestly? respect. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). A summary of options is included below.

  • -f, --fullscreen — Start in fullscreen mode (default). yes, this is the one that's already on, she's the default girlie ✨
  • -w, --windowed — Start in windowed mode. if fullscreen is too much main character energy for you, there's this 💕
  • -s, --nosound — Start without sound. silent mode. stealth mode. library mode. 🔇
  • -n, --notfinal — No title screen (nice for developers). literally says it's nice for developers, so if you're a dev you're gonna eat 🍓
  • -t, --noparticles — Turns off particles. Good for slow computers. if your machine is fighting for its life, this is your bestie 😭
  • -o, --nofadeout — No fadeout after crash (for slow computers). also for the slow-computer girlies. no dramatic fade, just crash, periodt 💀
  • --precision — Sets the precision of the collisions (default=10). yeah there's no short version of this one, she stands alone 👑
  • -h, --help — Show summary of options. the classic. when in doubt, -h it out 💅

🎀 KEYS 🎀

okay so this is a two-player situation, which is highkey the best part. here's who does what:

Player 1 👑

  • arrow keys — moving
  • right control — special ability

Player 2 🧚

  • a — left
  • d — right
  • w — thrust
  • TAB — special ability
not me noticing Player 1 gets arrow keys and Player 2 gets a/d/w. the keyboard is not big enough for both of you and that's just the way it is, bestie. play nice. 🫶
