So this manual page documents, briefly, the command line parameters for the game pong2. briefly!! we are not writing a novel here!! 🍓

pong2 is an up till now two player (networked) game inspired by the classical "Pong" from Amiga — but it adds another dimension to the playing field. 👑 Crazy graphics, fast gameplay, great fun ;) like… the graphics are genuinely unhinged and the gameplay is FAST and it is SO much fun. 🔥
