xmemory
NAME
xmemory - game of memory for several player
SYNOPSIS
xmemory [small|normal|big] ([display]/[color])*
DESCRIPTION
XMemory is a multi player memory game. It is played
simultaenously on several X Displays, which have to be
listed on the command-line. To run properly, the access to
the selected X Displays must be allowed. This can be
achieved in the usual manner by running xhost on the desired
displays.
Rules
Like in the traditional memory game, the players have to
find similar tiles on the table to get the tiles. The main
change in this version is, that the players play
simultaenously and therefor the whole game gets some kind of
an action game.
Opening a tile leads to a lock of the tile for about 3
seconds when opening the first tile. 1 second after opening
the second tile, both tiles flip back and therefor are
accessable again for all other players.
Winner is the player who collected the most matching tiles.
Size Options
small: 4x5 grid
normal: 8x9 grid
big: 11x12 grid
Player Specification
The List of players is a list of the display names. If
desired, a color can be selected for a display by
concatinating a slash and the name of the color after the
display name, e.g. hgr3:0.0/brown.
Fonts
The program tries to use scalable fonts on the displays. If
the fonts are not found or don't look pretty, check out if
the fontserver fs is running on the display.
EXAMPLE
xmemory normal genesis:0.0/red barcley:0.0/blue
