.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
\fBQuake\fP is a popular first-person shooter game that appeared in 1996,
released by iD Software. This wrapper script will launch the Quake engine. The
game data needs to be installed independently using the 'game-data-packager'
program, and by default it will be looked for at \fI/usr/share/games/quake\fR.
.PP
This wrapper script accepts the two common GNU-style options to get information
on the program. Any further arguments are passed to the engine unmodified.
Consult the engine documentation for full details, but most engines support a
syntax whereby engine switches are prefixed with a minus sign, and you can
give console commands by prefixing with a plus sign. See the examples section
for some common cases.
.SH OPTIONS
These options are accepted for \fBWRAPPER-OPTIONS\fR in the
synopsis.
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Show summary of options.
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-version
Show version of program.
.SH EXAMPLES
These are all engine dependent.
.TP
Play the Zerstoerer mod:
.B quake -game zer
.TP
Play a specific map using the Drake expansion:
.B quake -game drake +map sludge1
.TP
Connect to a server for multiplayer:
.B quake +connect dm.quakeone.net:27000
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR quake-server (6),
.BR quakespasm (6),
.BR game-data-packager (6).
.SH AUTHOR
This manual page, and the Quake wrapper script, were written by David Banks
<amoebae@gmail.com>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others). The
package was based on the \fBquake3\fR package by Simon McVittie.
