       xmoto [options]

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 sunflower 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, maximum framerate.

       --benchmark
              Only meaningful  when  combined  with  --replay  and  --timedemo.  Useful  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 emulation 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
