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
               to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources  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.
