🎮 LBREAKOUT2SERVER 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for lbreakout2server — it lives in section 6 of the games manual, and yes it's giving "the coolest LAN party you've ever been to" energy. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lbreakout2server — the multi-player server for lbreakout2, no cap 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lbreakout2server

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you just run it 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk: this manual page is a brief lil rundown of the lbreakout2server command. it doesn't go on forever, it just tells you what you need 🎀

and here's the tea — this page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution specifically, because the original program literally does not have a manual page. so Debian said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and honestly? iconic 👑

want more docs? there's further documentation waiting for you in /usr/share/doc/lbreakout2 — go look, it's there 🌈

now, what even is lbreakout2? it's a game written in the style of the games Breakout and xboing (iykyk). and this server right here? it's the thing that lets two or more players play against each other. group chat but it's paddle-and-ball combat 🏓🔥

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -p <port> — the port the server will run on. the default is 2002. pick your lane, bestie 🚪
  • -l <limit> — the maximum number of users that may connect to the server. the default is 30. it's a whole party, but not an unlimited party 🎉
  • -m <message> — this message gets displayed to welcome a user. make it cute, make it yours, make it a whole moment 💌
  • -a <password> — a user that logs in with this name will become administrator, named admin. the default is no admin. so if you don't set this, nobody's running the show 🫡
  • -f <framerate> — the number of calls to the send/recv handler per second. the default is 33. that's the heartbeat of the whole server, fr fr 💓

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

  • /usr/share/doc/lbreakout2/index.html — go read it, it's right there 📖

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but plot twist, it may be used by others. generous king behavior honestly 🫶

💀 heads up: nothing here is dangerous, but do remember the defaults — port 2002, limit 30, framerate 33, and no admin unless you hand it out with -a. that last one is the one that'll get you if you're not paying attention, bestie.

and that's the whole page!! this version dropped on December 18, 2009 as part of the Games Manual, section 6 — lbreakout2server, serving multi-player chaos since way back. slay, stay hydrated, and go play some Breakout 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅
