NAME

       burgerspace-server - UDP server for the networked version of
       BurgerSpace


SYNOPSIS

       burgerspace-server


DESCRIPTION

       burgerspace-server is a server that accepts connections from
       BurgerSpace clients to allow two players to compete with each other.
       One player controls the chef and the other controls the egg. Other
       clients can connect as spectators.

       burgerspace-server should be started in a terminal. To terminate it,
       give the Ctrl-C sequence or use the kill(1) command with the server's
       process ID as the argument.

       The connections use the UDP protocol. The --port option can be used to
       specify a non-default listening port (see below).

       After the server has started, the user who wants to control the chef
       must start the client with this command:

       burgerspace --server=the.server.hostname.com --chef

       Use the appropriate hostname or IP address as the argument for
       --server.  The user who wants to control the egg must give the --enemy
       option instead of --chef.  The --port option can be added to the
       burgerspace command-line to specify the server port, if the server was
       started with a non-default UDP listening port.


OPTIONS

       --help display a help page and exit

       --version
              display version information and exit

       --initial-level=N
              start game at level N.  Default is 1.  N must be at least 1.

       --port=PORT
              UDP port number on which the server must listen for incoming
              clients.  The default is 49152.
