trackballs(6) Games trackballs(6) NAME Trackballs - marble game similar to the classic arcade game 'Marble Madness' SYNOPSIS trackballs [-w] [-m] [-y] [-f] [-e -l<level> -t<level>] [-r<width>] [-s<sensitivity>] ... DESCRIPTION Trackballs is a simple game inspired by the classic Atari 1980's arcade game 'Marble Madness' (later released by Electronic Arts for the Amiga and other platforms). By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth filled with sharp ob- jects, pools of acid and other obstacles the player collects points. When the ball passes through the goal it continues to the next, more difficult track - unless the time runs out. It should be noted that this game is _not_ intended to be a replica of Marble Madness but rather merely inspired by it. For instance the game uses 3D graphics even though the original game had no real use for it. Also the game is fully programmable with a scripting extension (Guile), and includes a level editor with which to easily create new levels.
