🏓 TUXPUCK(6) — the Games Manual, but make it a group chat 🏓

okay so bestie, you found it: tuxpuck, section 6 of the Games Manual. Yes the games section. Yes that's a whole vibe. Let's go 💖

✨ NAME ✨

tuxpuck — a "Shufflepuck Cafe" Clone. literally the name says it all, no notes 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tuxpuck

that's it. that's the whole thing. she takes no args, she needs no args, she's confident 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Anyone remember "Shufflepuck Cafe" for the Amiga/AtariST? I do. 💀 iconic behavior honestly.

TuxPuck is a shufflepuck game written in C using SDL. The player moves a pad around a board and tries to shoot down the puck through the opponents defense.

so like, you're the pad. the pad is you. you slide around, you whack the puck, and you're trying to get it past the other person's defense. main character energy fr fr 🏒✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • none — This program does not take any command line arguments.

ngl she said "no flags, no discourse, just play." periodt. 🙈

💜 CONFIG FILE 💜

The config file .tuxpuckrc is located in your home directory. It is automatically written when the game quits.

so like, you don't have to do anything?? she just... saves herself when she leaves?? lowkey the healthiest relationship in this whole manpage 😭💖

🌈 CONFIG FILE FORMAT 🌈

Just TAG VALUE, each option seperated by Returns.

that's it. tag. space. value. newline. she's not complicated, she's just specific. 🧚

⭐ CONFIG FILE OPTIONS ⭐

  • SOUND — 1 = ON, 0 = OFF
  • FULLSCREEN — 1 = ON, 0 = OFF
  • MOUSESPEED — between 1 and 10, 1 slowest, 10 fastest

three options. three. she's minimal, she's curated, she's the moment. 👑

💅 IN-GAME CONTROL 💅

  • MOUSE — Move the pad
  • f — Toggle fullscreen mode
  • F1 — Toggle sound
  • F5 — Decrease mouse speed
  • F6 — Increase mouse speed

that's the whole keyboard. mouse does the work, f does the drama (fullscreen, obviously), F1 mutes the chaos, and F5/F6 are your little speed dials. F5 down, F6 up. don't mix them up bestie, i know you will 🍓
