🌸 SOLARUS-RUN(6) — the solarus-run girlie's guide 💅

okay so first things first, bestie: this is the manual page for solarus-run, version 1.6.2, part of the Games manual section. yes, section 6. she's living in the games section and she's thriving ✨

✨ NAME ✨

solarus-run — like, the actual manual page for solarus-run 1.6.2. that's the whole name section, she's lowkey minimal 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

solarus-run [options] [quest_path]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the quest path? that's the name of a directory, and inside that directory lives either the data directory or the data archive (data.solarus or data.solarus.zip) of the game you wanna run. that's the whole vibe check 🫶

and if you don't specify the quest path at all? no worries bestie, the default directory is literally just:

.

periodt. 💖

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

so many options, and every single one of them ate. let's go:

• -help — shows this help message and then dips out (exits). iconic, honestly.
• -no-audio — disables sounds and musics. silence era 🎀
• -no-video — disables displaying. no screen, no problem.
• -quest-size=<width>x<height> — sets the size of the drawing area (but only if it's compatible with the quest, so don't get too comfy).
• -lua-console=yes|no — accepts standard input lines as Lua commands. default is yes — she's chatty by default, love that for her.
• -turbo=yes|no — runs as fast as possible rather than simulating real time. default is no. go fast mode is right there if you want it 🏎️
• -lag=X — slows down each frame of X milliseconds to simulate slower systems for debugging. default is 0, aka no fake lag. purely a debugging thing, not a lifestyle choice.
• -cursor-visible=yes|no — sets the mouse cursor visibility on start. default is leave unchanged — she's not gonna touch your cursor unless you ask bestie.
• -fullscreen=yes|no — sets fullscreen mode on start. default is leave unchanged. same energy, respect.
• -perf-sound-play=yes|no — enables performance reporting of sound playing. default no.
• -perf-video-render=yes|no — enables performance reporting of video rendering, i.e. FPS. default no. the numbers girlies will love this one 📊
• -joypad-deadzone=<value> — sets the joypad axis deadzone between 0-32767. default is 10000.
• -quit-combo=<b1>+<b2>+... — enables a joypad buttons combo for quitting. default is disabled. your "get me out of here" finger combo 🕹️
• -s=<code> — execute some Lua code before the main.lua script of the quest. little pre-game snack of code.
• -force-software-rendering — force the engine to use SDL software rendering. disabling opengl. (yes, opengl rendered in lowercase there, she said what she said.)

fr fr, -lag=X is for debugging only — don't go thinking it's a real performance setting, bestie 😭
