XMILLE(6)

✨ XMILLE ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for xmille, living in section 6 of the Games Manual (yes, section 6, the fun one 🎮). it's an X window mille bourne game. iconic. let's get into it 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xmille [restore-file]

that's it, that's the whole invocation. one optional restore-file and you're off 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Xmille brings up a window for a mille bourne game. slay.

when you're selecting one of your cards, it's giving very much three-button mouse energy, so here's the vibe check:

• left button — plays the card 👑
• right button — discards the card 🗑️
• middle button — chooses whichever is appropriate, so it first tries to play the card, and then discards it. the indecisive icon, we love her 🫶

Xmille also has a keyboard interface, because not everyone wants to be clicking all day, no cap. the cards in your hand are numbered from 1 to 7 — type a number and if the card is playable it is played, otherwise it is discarded. simple as that ✨

and to force a discard, type 'd' before the card number. the little rebel move. 💅

type any other key to draw a card from the pile. 🃏

and there are more commands — the page says so and then just... leaves us there. mysterious main character behaviour fr fr 💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

so bestie... there's nothing listed here. the section exists, the section is empty, and honestly that's its own kind of statement. no cross-references, no friends, just vibes. 😭

and that's the whole page, babes! this was X Version 11, dated July 1988 — yes, 1988, this game is older than your parents' playlists and it still ate. go play some mille bourne, you got this. 💖🎀🦋✨
