okay bestie, buckle up, this is the manual page for glob2, and it lives in section 6 of the games manual. it's giving real time strategy, and it is iconic. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

glob2 — Real Time Strategy Game 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glob2 [-h ]  [-f ]  [-r ]  [-s640x480]  [-a ]  [-b ]  [-l ]  [-t [01]]
[-d /home/foo/bar]  [-u jack]  [-host MapName]

lowkey yes, that spacing is exactly how it's written. i'm not touching it. it's part of the lore. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this manual page documents the glob2 command briefly. that's literally what it says. briefly. it's a little teaser, a little appetizer, a little snack. 🍓

this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so like... we made one. you're welcome. 🫶

now the actual tea: glob2 is a Real Time Strategy game. it can be compared with Warcraft and also with the Sims-games family. both. at the same time. a crossover event. 🌈

the primary aim of the game is to kill your opponents, just like in Warcraft-like games. and the whole control is processed through buildings, not units, as in the Sims-games family. so it's strategy brain + architecture brain. main character energy fr fr. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help — show a summary of options. your little map, bestie. 🗺️
• -s resolutionxdepth — set the resolution, and optionally the depth. for instance: -s640x480 or -s640x480x32. ✨
• -f/-F — set/clear full screen. big screen, no screen, you decide. 🖥️
• -r/-R — set/clear resizable window. let it breathe. 🪟
• -g/-G — enable/disable OpenGL acceleration (that's GPU use, for the uninitiated 💅). 🔥
• -c/-C — enable/disable the custom cursor. yes, the cursor is a whole personality. 🖱️
• -l — low quality graphics: disables some transparency effects. it's the "i need my frames" setting. 😭
• -h — high quality graphics: the maximum of transparency effects. glassy. glowy. gorgeous. ✨
• -v level — set the music volume, between 1 and 256. not 100, not 10. two hundred and fifty-six. iconic. 🎶
• -m/-M — mute/unmute the sound (both music and speech). silence is also a vibe. 🤫
• -d directory — add a directory to the directory search list. more places to look = more to find. 📁
• -u username — specify a username. who are you today? 🌸
• -host MapName — run Globulation 2 as a game host text-only server. no graphics, all business. 👑
• -y hostname — specify an alternative hostname for the YOG server. 🛰️
• -host map_file [YOG_username] [YOG_password] — run only as a YOG game host text-based server. yes, -host shows up twice in this list with different vibes. that's not a typo, that's just how it is. 💀
• -nox game_file — run the game without using the X server. living that headless life. 🙈
• -vs name — save a videoshot as name. a screenshot but make it cinema. 🎬
