ggz-wrapper(6) GGZ Gaming Zone ggz-wrapper(6)NAMEggz-wrapper - GGZ Gaming Zone command line core client
SYNOPSISggz-wrapper [--gametype GAMENAME] [--user NAME] [--destnick NAME]
[OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
The GGZ Gaming Zone allows people to play many games online using so-
called GGZ core clients which are chat clients with integrated game
launchers.
The ggz-wrapper tool is a small special GGZ core client for the command
line. It does not support chat or display of rooms, tables and players,
but instead is useful for fast launching of online games. Therefore,
its main purpose is to be invoked from instant messengers such as gaim
or kopete.
It currently supports all two-player games, as human against human or
human against bot. If no options are given, ggz-wrapper will invoke a
Tic-Tac-Toe game client on the default GGZ server, live.ggzgaming‐
zone.org, logging in as guest user.
OPTIONS
--gametype=GAMENAME
The name of the game to play, e.g. TicTacToe or Chess. This
option expects a case-sensitive argument which must match one of
the available game modules in ggz.modules. If the game type is
not supported by the specified GGZ server, the invocation will
fail.
--user=NAME
The name of the player who is running the client. The default is
to run with an automatically generated guest user name. In order
to use a registered name, the option --password is implied.
--destnick=NAME
The name of the other player. If omitted or empty, the player
running the client will launch the table (game host). If empty,
other player will be the bot. If not empty, player will join
the table which the other player already launched.
--password=PASSWORD
Password to use in case of playing as a registered user. Note
that on a multi-user systems, other users might see the pass‐
word, which is a security risk.
--server=SERVER
The server to play on. If not specified, the default server is
ggz://live.ggzgamingzone.org.
--port=PORT
The port to use to connect to the GGZ server. PORT is almost
always 5688, so this option is rarely needed.
