NAME
       X-Moto--2D motocross platform game

SYNOPSIS
       xmoto [options]
       xmoto [options] replay.rpl
       xmoto [options] level.lvl

DESCRIPTION
       X-Moto is a challenging 2D motocross platform game, where physics plays
       an important role in the	gameplay. You need to control your bike	to its
       limit, if you want to have a chance finishing the more difficult	of the
       challenges.

GAMEPLAY
       A  number of strawberries are typically spread around each level, which
       generally consists of a complicated landscape seen from the  side--i.e.
       much  like islands in the sky. You need to collect all those berries to
       finish the level--when you've got the last one, you need	find the  sun-
       flower  which  will complete the	level when you touch it. Variations to
       this basic gameplay may be found	around some of the levels.

       Your motocross bike is likewise seen from the side, and you control its
       throttle, braking, and simple changes to	the attitude  by  jerking  the
       bike  back and forth. Additionally you can change the direction of your
       driving,	by rotating on the spot.

       You control your	bike using the keyboard. The following	keys  are  the
       default values, but may be changed from inside the game:

       Up arrow
	      Accelerate.

       Down arrow
	      Brake.

       Left arrow
	      Rotate counter-clockwise.

       Right arrow
	      Rotate clockwise.

       Space  Turn around and drive in the other direction.

       Additionally, some other	keys can be pressed while playing:

       Escape Pause the	game, and open the in-game menu.

       TAB    Autozoom	animation.  Zooms  out	so  that you can see the whole
	      level.

       F2     Switch the camera	to the ghost, so you can follow	it and see how
	      the level	can be mastered.

       F3     Add the current level to favorites while playing.	Press again to
	      remove from favorites.

       F5     Restart the  level  while	 playing.   Rebuild  the  database  if
	      pressed while in the main	menu.

       F7     Show/hide	frames-per-second counter.

       F8     Activate/Deactivate Internet connection.

       F9     Switch  to  the  "Ugly  mode". Saves a lot of CPU	time and shows
	      some secret passages.

       F10    Theme Mode. It can be used to test custom	graphics.  Also	 helps
	      to avoid wreckers.

       F11    Line  Mode.  This	mode is	mostly for testing. Draws lines	around
	      blocks and shows zones.

       F12    Take a Screenshot. The file is saved into	the xmoto directory.

       Ctrl+i Toggle replay interpolation. Makes replays  look	smoother  when
	      turned on.

       Ctrl+m Toggle mirror mode. Wanna	have twice as many levels?

       Ctrl+b Blacklist/unblacklist a level while playing.

       Ctrl+s enable/disable sound.

       Ctrl+o display the option window

       PgUp   Jump to the previous level while playing.

       PgDown Jump to the next level while playing.

       Alt+Enter
	      Toggle  fullscreen.  Aslo	changes	your "run windowed/fullscreen"
	      setting.

OPTIONS
       Most of these options also change your config settings, so be careful!

       -h, -?, -help, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -res, --resolution <widthxheight>
	      Forces a specific	display	resolution.

       -fs, --fullscreen
	      Forces the game to run in	fullscreen mode.

       -win, --windowed
	      Forces the game to run in	windowed mode.

       --nosound
	      Turns off	sound effects, even if they are	enabled	in the config.

       -r, --replay <replay>
	      Play the replay and quit afterwards.

       -ri, --replayInfos <replay>
	      Display information about	the replay and quit.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose and output debug messages on the standard output.

       -l, --level  id
	      Start playing the	specified level	right away. If id is a	number
	      the  corresponding  built-in  level  is  selected,  otherwise it
	      should be	the identifier of an  external	level  (not  the  file
	      name).

       --levelFile <FILE>
	      Start playing the	given level right away.

       -d, --debug
	      Enables debug mode.

       -p, --profile  name
	      Use the player profile specified by name.

       --children
	      Force  children  compliant  mode.	It removes levels not suitable
	      for children.

       --configpath path
	      Use path as the xmoto configuration path.

       -ll, --listlevels
	      Output the list of available levels and quit.

       -lr, --listreplays
	      Output the list of available replays and quit.

       --fps  Enables framerate	display.

       -td, --timedemo
	      Tries to render the game as fast as possible. No delaying, maxi-
	      mum framerate.

       --benchmark
	      Only meaningful when combined with --replay and --timedemo. Use-
	      ful to determine graphics	performance.

       --nowww
	      Do not  allow xmoto to connect to	the web.

       --testTheme
	      Enables testThemeMode. This will	display	 the  collision	 forms
	      over  the	 sprites  of the theme to check	if the theme is	nicely
	      designed.

       --drawlib drawlib
	      Choose which rendering engine to use (default one	is  OPENGL  if
	      available).  You	do not need this unless	you *really* know what
	      you are doing.

       --noexts
	      Do not use any OpenGL extensions.

       --novobs
	      Don't use	VOB OpenGL extension (GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object).

       --ugly Enables "the ugly" mode. This will increase the game's framerate
	      significantly, but it will also  make  the  graphics  look  very
	      ugly--most  things inside	the game will be drawn with lines, the
	      rider for	instance being a simple	stick figure. This  option  is
	      very  useful if your system doesn't have a proper	OpenGL-capable
	      video card (like for instance if you have	a laptop with on-board
	      video card). If you have the  right  amount  of  CPU  power,  it
	      should  even be possible to run X-Moto in	OpenGL software	emula-
	      tion mode	(MesaGL	on linux,  Windows'  OpenGL  fallback  driver,
	      etc).

       --defaultTheme theme
	      Set  theme  as  default  theme for new profiles created. This is
	      mostly useful for	packagers wanting to set the  theme  of	 their
	      distribution by default.

       --noDBDirsCheck
	      Don't  check that	system and user	dirs changed at	startup. It is
	      mainly useful if you use X-Moto on a USB key.

       --server
	      Run X-Moto as a server only (no gui).

       --serverPort <port>
	      Specify the server port (with --server only).

       --serverAdminPassword <password>
	      Specify a	server admin password  which  is  always  valid	 (with
	      --server only).

       --connectAtStartup
	      Connect the client to the	server at startup.

       --updateLevelsOnly
	      Only update levels (no gui).

       --noLog
	      Disable logging into xmoto.log

       --pack bin dir
	      Build a bin package from the directory dir.

       --unpack	bin dir	no_list
	      Unpack  the bin package into the dir dir.	 Add no_list if	you do
	      not need a list of all extracted files.

       --cleancache
	      Deletes the content of the level cache.

       --cleanNoWWWLevels
	      Check web	levels list and	remove levels which are	not  available
	      on the web (removed files	are put	into ~/.xmoto/Trash/Levels)

       --sqlTrace
	      Enable sql trace mode.

       --videoRecording
	      Enable  video  recording	while plaing/replaying (should be used
	      with --replay and	--benchmark).

       --videoRecordingSizeDivision DIVISION
	      Change video size	(1=full, 2=50%,	4=25%).

       --videoRecordingFramerate FRAMERATE
	      Change video framerate.

       --videoRecordingStartTime NBCENTSOFSECONDS
	      Start recording video after NBCENTSOFSECONDS time	elapsed.

       --videoRecordingEndTime NBCENTSOFSECONDS
	      Stop recording video after NBCENTSOFSECONDS time elapsed.

       --hidePlayingInformation
	      Don't show some information while	playing/replaying ; useful  to
	      make nicer video.

EXAMPLES
       view a replay in	windowed mode:
       xmoto --windowed	~/.xmoto/Replays/replay.rpl
       disable sounds, Internet	connection and play mylevel.lvl	directly:
       xmoto --nosound --nowww mylevel.lvl
