Overview

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

xsoldier is a space-based shoot'em up game. You fly around and try to kill everything that moves... and everything that doesn't move... You get the idea.

Options

-d, -display name

The (X window) display on which you want to play the game.

-w, -wait number

Set the speed of the game. A higher number means the game runs slower. If you use this option the ranking mode is turned off.

-c, -cmap

Do nothing (only for backward compatibility).

-s, -score

Show the TOP10 soldiers, i.e. the highscore.

-h, -help

Show a short help text and exit.

-maxlevel

Force max level enemy attack, making your life really harder.

-nopausemessage

Don't show "Press [p] to resume game." message when the game is paused. Useful for capturing a screen snapshot.
