# 3Dc(6)

Program to play 3D chess for X

## NAME

3Dc - Program to play 3D chess for X

## SYNOPSIS

**3Dc** \[**-play:**  *white*\|*black*\]  \[**-altdisplay:**\|**-ad:** *display*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **3Dc** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. The Rules of 3Dchess as played by this program can be found in /usr/share/doc/3dchess/3dc-rules.html on Debian GNU/Linux systems.

## OPTIONS

- **-play:***white***\|***black*

  Tells the computer to play.  Requires a following parameter, either *black* or *white*, which tells the computer which colour to play.

- **-altdisplay:***display,***-ad:***display*

  Tells the computer that you are playing as the white player in a network game.  It requires one additional parameter---the *display* to pop the black player's windows up on.  The other display must allow connections, via xhost or xauth.
