NAME¶
burgerspace-server - UDP server for the networked version of BurgerSpace
SYNOPSIS¶
burgerspace-server
DESCRIPTION¶
burgerspace-server is a server that accepts connections from BurgerSpace
clients to allow two players to compete with each other. One player controls
the chef and the other controls the egg. Other clients can connect as
spectators.
burgerspace-server should be started in a terminal. To terminate it, give the
Ctrl-C sequence or use the
kill(1) command with the server's process ID as the
argument.
The connections use the UDP protocol. The
--port option can be used to
specify a non-default listening port (see below).
After the server has started, the user who wants to control the chef must start
the client with this command:
burgerspace --server=the.server.hostname.com --chef
Use the appropriate hostname or IP address as the argument for --server. The
user who wants to control the egg must give the --enemy option instead of
--chef. The --port option can be added to the burgerspace command-line to
specify the server port, if the server was started with a non-default UDP
listening port.
