       [--visual visual] [--clock float] [--noise] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The pong	program	simulates an ancient Pong home video game, as well  as
       various artifacts from displaying it on a color TV set.

OPTIONS
       pong accepts the	following options:

       --window
	       Draw on a newly-created window.	This is	the default.

       --root  Draw on the root	window.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified window.

       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       --install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       --visual	visual
	       Specify	which  visual  to use.	Legal values are the name of a
	       visual class, or	the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
	       visual.

       --clock The score of the	game will be the current time.

       --noise float
	       How  noisy  the	video signal should be (between	0.0 and	4.0 or
	       so).

       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

       (-p1 | --p2) mode
	       Set a player to either ai, mouse, tablet, kbleft	(for W and S),
	       or kbright (or just kb, for arrow keys).

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT

	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.

       standard	 TV controls: analogTVTint, analogTVColor, analogTVBrightness,
       and analogTVContrast.  They range from 0	to 100,	except for tint	 which
       is an angle between -180	and +180.
