💫 glaxium 💫

okay bestie, so this is glaxium — a 3d spaceship shoot-em-up, and it's a section 6 (Games Manual) kinda situation, so grab a snack and let's go 🚀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glaxium [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this manual page is a lil brief, ngl — it just documents the glaxium command. And the reason it's so short? It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. So this is us, making it work. 💅

glaxium is a 3d 'shoot-em-up' game — think Space Invaders and Galaxian energy, but 3d, obsessed with them fr fr.

The goal? Destroy as many opposing ships as you possibly can while not getting destroyed yourself. The screen shows your current shield status — if it drops to empty, you lose. 😭 And those little triangles in the lower-right hand side of the screen? They show how many times you may fire your special weapon. Iconic.

Use the following keys to control your ship:

  • arrow keys or joystick — move the ship
  • w, z — fire the normal weapon
  • x — fire the special weapon (you may fire this only a limited number of times 👀)
  • p — pause
  • q, Escape — quit
  • d — display the current FPS count

💖 OPTIONS 💖

Okay so all options begin with a single dash (-). A summary of options is included below. Bestie, there are only five, you got this.

  • -f — run in fullscreen mode. main character energy, fill the whole screen 🫶
  • -1 — use a resolution of 500x400 pixels
  • -2 — use a resolution of 640x480 pixels
  • -3 — use a resolution of 800x600 pixels. This is the default ⭐
  • -4 — use a resolution of 1024x768 pixels
