💖 NAME 💖

cgoban — X11 Go Toolset 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cgoban -help

cgoban [ <options> ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, so here's the tea: all the info on the switches lives behind cgoban -help. That's the move. 💅

One switch you're probably gonna wanna use is cgoban -fontHeight size. What does it do? It changes the size of everything cgoban draws. Every. Single. Thing. The default is 12, so if you run cgoban -fontHeight 14 the board and everything else gets bigger, and cgoban -fontHeight 10 makes it all smaller. lowkey iconic that one number controls the whole vibe ✨

Also? Any of the command line switches can be set with an X default instead. Like a little hack, iykyk. For example, if you want black and white to be the default mode, you can run complete goban with cgoban -nocolor, or you can just add cgoban*color: 0 to your X defaults. Same energy, different delivery 🦋

And here's the part that's giving main character memory: Cgoban will store a new .cgobanrc file every time you run it. In this file it saves the current state of cgoban. Which is genuinely so handy — you don't normally have to set command line switches since cgoban will remember them in the .cgobanrc file. Obsessed. 🫶

⚠️ BUT. It is possible that the .cgobanrc file gets some bad data in it. And if that happens? Just delete the file and then you can start from scratch again. Problem solved, no drama, periodt. 💀
