TETRINET-SERVER(6)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for tetrinet-server (section 6, the Games Manual obvi 💅) — it's the server program for tetrinet, and yes she's iconic, yes she's simple, and yes we're gonna go through every single detail together 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tetrinet-server

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no nothing. periodt 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so tetrinet-server is a server program for tetrinet-client(6), which is the networked version of tetris — literally tetris but you're playing with your friends over the network, main character energy 🌈

you can use it to serve both a TetriFast and an original server for up to 6 people to connect and play. six. that's the limit. no cap.

it does not support any fancy features like different channels — she's not doing all that 🙈 — but she still includes support for configureable cookie mode and a small winlist. so like, lowkey minimal but she ate 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

tetrinet-server doesn't take any options at all. zero. none. she said "I read the config file and that's that."

it reads all its settings from ~/.tetrinet on startup, and creates a default file if there isn't one already there. so if you're missing it, she'll just make one for you, so thoughtful 🥺✨

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

okay so this is a short explanation of the configuration file ~/.tetrinet together with its default entries. it gets written after every game or when the server quits. if it's not there, it will be created automatically. slay 💫

• winlist Alcan;0;3;1 AndrewK;0;2;1 — this is the winlist the server keeps. each parameter consists of four semicolon-seperated fields: Name;Team;Points;Games. Team is a flag which is either 1 if the entry is for a team or 0 if the entry is for a player. Points is just the number of points for the entry, and Games is the number of games the entry has participated.
• classic 1 — sets classic mode for the game — that means, no cookies. bye cookies 😭
• initiallevel 1 — sets the level in which the game will start.
• linesperlevel 2 — defines how many lines will issue a level increase.
• levelinc 1 — how many levels are increased per linesperlevel removed lines.
• averagelevels 1 — the levels of all player get averaged if this is set to 1.
• speciallines 1 — how many lines must be removed to get specials.
• specialcount 1 — the number of specials that are added each time speciallines' lines are removed.
• specialcapacity 18 — this number tells you how many specials you can hold.
• pieces 14 14 15 14 14 14 15 — sets the likeliness of the different pieces. must sum up to 100. the order is: bar (dark blue), square (yellow), reverse-L (green), L (purple), Z (red), S (light blue), and T (yellow). she's giving full rainbow 🌈
• specials 18 18 3 12 0 16 3 12 18 — sets the likeliness of the different specials. must sum up to 100. the order is: A, C, N, R, S, B, G, Q, O.
• linuxmode 0 — this setting selects whether the client should try to remain compatible with Windows clients. this only affects the winlist display; if linuxmode is set to 1, the server will send the number of games played by each player as well as points won. this is set to zero by default.
• ipv6_only 0 — listen on ipv6 only.

🧚 FILES 🧚

• ~/.tetrinet — the configuration file for tetrinet-server. the one and only 👑
