The file can contain all possible commandline arguments (without the preceding dashes, and one line for each argument). Commandline parame- ters are parsed after reading the config file, so they override the .foobillardrc settings. NETWORK GAMES To start a network game : Hit <ESC> to get to the menu, Select <Network Game>/<As Host> on one computer and <Network Game>/<Join>/<OK> on the other machine after having set the proper IP in <Network Game>/<Join>/<IP>. The <Network Game>/<Port> setting must be the same on both machines. The IP of the host machine can also be set on the client machine (the joining one), by adding hostaddr=IP-ADDR in the config file (see be- low), or by passing it as commandline option: --hostaddr=IP-ADDR Starting from menu the host sends its gamestate variables to the client, so every clienside settings get overriden by the host (game- type, tablesize, player names, ...) The data sent between the two computers are only the shot-data, like strength, cue offset and direction. So if the two machines have a dif- ferent internal floating point accuracy, the games may drift apart af- ter a certain amount of time.
