💖 PIPEWALKER 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for pipewalker, section 6, from the Pipewalker Manual — and no, it's not a boring one, it's a whole vibe. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pipewalker — a combination puzzle game 🧩 no cap, that's the whole thing.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pipewalker [OPTIONS]...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so pipewalker is a puzzle game where your entire job — your whole main character arc — is combining the components into a single circuit. like, connect all the computers to a network server, bring water to the taps, etc. it's giving ✨plumbing but make it fashion✨. literally obsessed.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message and dips out. exit, stage left 💅
  • -v, --version — tells you the version info and then also dips. iconic behaviour honestly
  • -i, --id=ID: — starts the level with the ID you picked. and bestie, it has to be a number from 1 up to 99999999 👑
  • -c, --width=COLUMNS: — sets the level width. number from 10 to 50, that's the range, periodt
  • -r, --height=ROWS: — sets the level height. also a number from 10 to 50 🦋
  • -w, --no-wrap — disables wrap mode. bye wrap mode 👋
  • -s, --no-sound — disables sound. silent mode activated 🤫

✨ FILES ✨

  • /usr/share/games/pipewalker/ — the data directory where the pipewalker themes live 🎀

✨ NOTES ✨

so pipewalker supports various themes, and themes are stored as a set of textures in a PNG file. important part: all themes must be 1024x896 pixels in size, no exceptions, it's a strict dress code fr fr.

wanna add a new theme? slay. just copy the PNG file into the /usr/share/games/pipewalker data directory. the file name is used as the theme name — so name it cute, that's your whole branding 🧚

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

okay say you wanna start pipewalker on level 1234, with wrap mode disabled, and a level map of 10x20. you literally just do:

$ pipewalker --id=1234 --no-wrap --width=10 --height=20

ate. no crumbs. 🔥
