NAME
     pong - Pong Home Video Game Emulator

SYNOPSIS
     pong  [--display  host:display.screen]  [--foreground  color] [--background
     color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--mono] [--install]  [--vi-
     sual visual] [--clock float] [--noise] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     The pong program simulates an ancient Pong home video game, as well as var-
     ious 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
	     to get the name of a resource file that overrides	the  global  re-
	     sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

     XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	     The window ID to use with --root.

X RESOURCES
     Notable  X  resources  supported  include the following which correspond to
     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.
