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.
