🦋 caveexpress — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the caveexpress(6) page, filed under games. this is the whole thing, and yes we're doing all of it, no skipping. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

caveexpress — a 2D platformer with physics-based gameplay. that's the whole name, she's simple, she's iconic. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

caveexpress [option]

literally just run it with an option, that's the vibe.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so caveexpress is a classic 2D platformer with physics-based gameplay and dozens of levels. dozens!! that's so many levels bestie. 😭

your job? master your pedal-powered flying machine and pick up packages from your cave-dwelling clients, then drop them off at the collection point. delivery girlie era, honestly.

but beware! 🦕 Mighty mastodons, terrifying pterodactyls and others would rather see you extinct. not the friendly kind of wildlife, ngl.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -server — start the server for the game (headless mode). no screen, just server energy. 👑
  • -set <varname> <value> — change the value of a config variable. the little glow-up button for your settings. ✨

🎮 CONSOLE COMMANDS 🎮

open the in-game console with SHIFT+ESC. just type a config variable name in there and it'll show you the current value — like a vibe check but for settings. 🙈

plot twist: console commands can also be triggered from the commandline by just putting a - in front of it.

  • -loglevel <LEVEL> — possible level values are: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR. pick your gossip level. 📢

🌈 CONFIG VARIABLES 🌈

these variables can be modified by using the -set command — or by providing default values for some of them in the config.lua file in the asset directory. you can override any file by putting it into the same subdir as in your installation folder into ~/.local/share/caveexpress. yes that's a whole path, write it down. 📝
