netris-sample-robot(6)

NAME
netris-sample-robot - sample robot for netris

SYNOPSIS
netris-sample-robot [-l]

DESCRIPTION
The netris-sample-robot is a sample implementation of the robot protocol. It plays quite well but isn't too hard to beat. The robot should be started from netris with the option -r to connect or wait for another player to join. You can also let two robots play against each other in that way, if you like.

OPTIONS

-l  Writes some log information into the file log in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out.

EXAMPLES

To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line:
    netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l'

You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot.
