NAME

       burgerspace-server - UDP server for the networked version of BurgerSpace

SYNOPSIS

       burgerspace-server

DESCRIPTION

       burgerspace-server  is a server that accepts connections from BurgerSpace clients to allow
       two players to compete with each other.  One  player  controls  the  chef  and  the  other
       controls the egg. Other clients can connect as spectators.

       burgerspace-server  should  be  started  in  a  terminal. To terminate it, give the Ctrl-C
       sequence or use the kill(1) command with the server's process ID as the argument.

       The connections use the UDP protocol. The --port option can be  used  to  specify  a  non-
       default listening port (see below).

       After the server has started, the user who wants to control the chef must start the client
       with this command:

       burgerspace --server=the.server.hostname.com --chef

       Use the appropriate hostname or IP address as the argument for  --server.   The  user  who
       wants  to  control  the  egg  must  give the --enemy option instead of --chef.  The --port
       option can be added to the burgerspace command-line to specify the  server  port,  if  the
       server was started with a non-default UDP listening port.

OPTIONS

       --help display a help page and exit

       --version
              display version information and exit

       --initial-level=N
              start game at level N.  Default is 1.  N must be at least 1.

       --port=PORT
              UDP  port number on which the server must listen for incoming clients.  The default
              is 49152.
