✨ NAME ✨

Hedgewars — it's a free turn based strategy game, bestie 💖 and yes it's literally as iconic as it sounds.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hedgewars [OPTION...] [CONNECTSTRING]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe 🌸 — every player is in charge of a whole team of several hedgehogs. Over the course of the game, players take turns controlling one of their hedgehogs at a time. When it's your turn, you grab whatever tools and weapons you've got and use them to attack and kill the other players' hedgehogs — and that's how you win the game, periodt. 👑

Your hedgehogs can move around the terrain in a whole bunch of ways — normally by walking and jumping, but also by using particular tools like the "Rope" or "Parachute" to reach areas that would otherwise be straight-up inaccessible. 🪢🪂

And every single turn is time-limited, so nobody gets to hold up the whole game by thinking or moving for a million years. No cap, the timer keeps things moving. ⏳

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --help — shows you the help and then dips, exits immediately. 🫶
• --config-dir=PATH — lets you set a custom path for your configuration data and user data. 🎀
• --data-dir=PATH — lets you set a custom path to the game data folder. 🗂️

🌈 CONNECTSTRING 🌈

If you hand it a CONNECTSTRING (like, for example, "hwplay://netserver.hedgewars.org"), then hedgewars will try to connect to that specified destination when it starts up. That's it, that's the whole thing. ✨
