xgalaga - X11 version of the famous Galaga game

xgalaga [-scores] [-display display] [-mouse] [-keyboard] [-nosound] [-b] [-noclipmask] [-nouseor] [-nostars]

xgalaga-hyperspace [-scores] [-display display] [-mouse] [-keyboard] [-nosound] [-b] [-noclipmask] [-nouseor] [-nostars]

It's Galaga, you know how to play Galaga, stop bothering me. (Ship follows the mouse, button fires. Auto-fire by holding it down, so no-one accuses me of breaking their mouse!)

The xgalaga-hyperspace version features some new weapons and different gameplay. Press the x key to use your shields in this version.

-scores

Prints out the high score file and exits

-display host:dpy

Set your display

-mouse

Use mouse control (same as 'm').

-keyboard

Use keyboard control (same as 'k'). If you have a joystick it can also be used if you select keyboard control.

-nosound

Turn sound OFF

-b

Turn buffered mode off, use this if it runs too slowly. Will cause flicker, maybe lots, maybe only a little.

-noclipmask

Don't use clip masks for drawing (affects unbuffered mode only).

-nouseor

Don't draw using OR mode.

-nostars

Don't draw stars in the background.

Combinations of the last four options can be used to get faster drawing if the video card can't keep up with the required 30 frames/sec. The fastest drawing will come from

xgalaga -b -noclipmask -nouseor -nostars

p - pauses

q - end this game

b - Toggle buffering (flicker vs. speed.)

o - Toggle OR mode. Don't use this, it sucks.

m - Use mouse control. Note that you may switch in mid-game.

k - Use keyboard control
