🌸 FREEDINK 🌸

ok so bestie. <rainbow>FreeDink</rainbow> — that's the engine for an adventure + role-playing game, and it lives in the Games corner of the manual, section 6. this is the whole vibe, let's go 💖

✨ NAME ✨

FreeDink — adventure and role-playing game (engine). yes the engine. it's giving "the thing that runs the thing" 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

freedink [OPTIONS]...

that's it. that's the whole summoning circle 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so when you run it, FreeDink starts the Dink Smallwood game, or one of its D-Mods. that's the main character moment. the flags below are your little customization menu, so let's go one by one, no skipping, periodt 💅

  • -h, --help — shows you this very help screen. like, the "what do I do" button. slay ✨
  • -v, --version — tells you the version. cute little "who am I" check 🎀
  • -g, --game <dir> — point at a specific DMod directory with dir. pick your adventure bestie 💖
  • -r, --refdir <dir> — sets the base directory for dink/graphics, D-Mods, etc. dir is the root of everything. very main character, very foundational 🌸
  • -d, --debug — explains what's being done while it's doing it. narrator mode, honestly iconic 🔍
  • -i, --noini — do not attempt to write dinksmallwood.ini. it just… won't. no cap 🫶
  • -j, --nojoy — do not attempt to use the joystick. hands off the joystick, bestie 🙈
  • -s, --nosound — do not play sound. silent mode, stealth mode, library mode 🤫
  • -t, --truecolor — allows more colours, for the recent D-Mod graphics. it's giving glow up 🌈
  • -w, --window — uses windowed mode instead of screen mode. smaller, cozier, multitask-friendly 🪟
  • -7, --v1.07 — enables v1.07 compatibility mode. time travel but for versions ⭐
  • -S, --software-rendering — don't use OpenGL. software rendering only, old school 💀
