NAME
gameclock - a simple game clock
SYNOPSIS
gameclock
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gameclock command.
gameclock is a simple application designed to track the time spent
thinking by the players during a chess game. Various ways of tracking
time are supported, with only ‘countdown’ (aka ‘blitz’) and ‘fisher’
for now. The graphical interface is keyboard driven and is intended to
be minimal and simple. The code is made to be extensible to other game
types.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below.
-h, --help
Show summary of options. This includes the program’s version and
license.
-v, --verbose
Show progress information to standard output. More ‘-v’ will
display more information: timestamps then game state engine.
-f, --fullscreen
Start the application in fullscreen mode.
KEYBINDINGS
Most of the interface is keyboard-driven, apart from the initial clock
and game configuration.
