🌈 tuxfootball(6) — the Tux Football manpage 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the tuxfootball manual page, section 6, from the Tux Football manpage era. yes that's a lot of football in one sentence. we're doing it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

tuxfootball — great 2D soccer (sometimes called football) game ⚽

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tuxfootball [OPTION...]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. iconic honestly.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so. Tux Football brings old style gameplay from DOS times back to the desktop with up to date graphics! 🫶 it is giving nostalgia but make it pretty. the gameplay is similar to old classics such as Amco's Kick Off and Sensible Software's Sensible Soccer. iykyk. 👑

the gameplay is designed to be quick, responsive and fun. the way that works: you are always in control of the player closest to the ball. no switching chaos, no drama, the game just knows. 💫

the ball is controlled via two different kick buttons — one for pass, and one for shoot. 🔥

and then there's aftertouch, which is the actual main character of this whole thing. you can apply aftertouch to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you want the ball to bend towards. pushing in the opposite direction to what you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air. pushing in the same direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground. periodt. 💅

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -h — print help. your little "what do i do" lifeline. 🙈
• -w — run Tux Football in windowed mode (default). cozy windowed vibes, the way it ships. 🎀
• -f — run Tux Football in fullscreen mode. take up the WHOLE screen. main character energy, no cap. 👑
• -d — Enable debug logging. for when you need the receipts. 🧚

heads up bestie: -w is the default, so if you don't pass anything you're getting windowed mode whether you asked or not. 💖

and that's the whole page! Tux Football, November 2012 — shoutout to the Tux Football crew who wrote this back in the day, mwah 💋 go score a goal for me, fr fr. ⚽✨💜
