✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gnome-tetravex [OPTION...]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. no cap. 🎀

🧩 DESCRIPTION 🧩

and here's the part that raises the stakes, bestie — your game is timed. the times get stored in a system-wide scoreboard. so like, everyone can see how fast you were. no pressure. except all of the pressure. 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --cli=COMMAND — play in the terminal!! yes ma'am, keyboard girlies rise. (go look at --cli=help for the deets)
  • -c, --colors=NUMBER — set how many colors you want, from 2 to 10
  • -p, --paused — start the game paused, so you can mentally prepare before the clock starts judging you
  • -r, --restore — restore your last game, if any (your unfinished business is safe 🥹)
  • -s, --size=SIZE — set the size of the board, from 2 to 6
  • -v, --version — print the release version and exit, periodt

also, this program accepts the standard GNOME and GTK options too. so if you were looking for those, they're here, they're welcome, they're part of the family. 🌈
