================================ Xbl ====================================
This game is a 3D extension of Tetris on X11.
Installation :
--------------
Modify ``Makefile.in'' if necessary
Important values are :
GROUPGID is the executable file GID.
(GROUPGID=2)
USE_SETGID protect score.
Protected by 's' GID bit by default.
If you have neither ``xmkmf'', nor ``imake'', customize
the following values :
SCOREDIR contains the score directory place.
(/usr/local/lib/xbl)
( $(LIBDIR)/xbl with xmkmf or imake)
RESOURCEDIR contains the X11 app-defaults directory.
(/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults)
( $(XAPPLOADDIR) with xmkmf or imake)
BINDIR is the binary's directory where to install
the executable.
(/usr/local/bin)
( $(BINDIR) with xmkmf or imake)
Type ``configure'' to create ``Makefile''
Type ``make''.
Test ``bl'' program to find best defaults :
- Find best buffering.
The more interesting buffering methods are 3,1,2.
Method 2 works on any screen, but heavily uses resources.
Choose the fastest method that doesn't flick.
For more details, see "xbl-man.html" file.
Option = -buffer
- Choose the keyboard configuration
1:AZERTY 2:QWERTY| 3:AZERTY- 4:QWERTY- 5:SPATIAL
Option = -keyboard
"SPATIAL" is another 3d tetris.
- If the buttons are moving too slowly, reduce their height.
Option = -buttonheight
Put your defaults in "Xbl.ad" file.
If ok, ``su root'' and ``make install''.
You play with ``xbl''.
Configuration :
---------------
Xbl Parameters are searched in X database under name "xbl.args";
in $RESOURCEDIR/Xbl (by default /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Xbl);
in $SCOREDIR/Xbl (by default /usr/local/lib/xbl/Xbl);
in server resource database;
in XBLOPTIONS shell variable;
in real args of the program.
There's only one resource name, but parameters are independent.
For example :
xbl.args: -buffer -1 -color 1 -x 5 -y 5 -smooth
Test ``xbl'' and choose the best buffer mode.
You will indicate this mode in X database.
Buffering mode 2 works on all hosts/screen (though slowly).
If all your keyboards are identical, select the good one.
I would highly appreciate if I received a mail from you telling :
- Your configuration problem
(don't forgot computer type and XBL version)
- The enhancement you would like.
