# netris-sample-robot(6)

sample robot for netris

## NAME

netris-sample-robot - sample robot for netris

## SYNOPSIS

**netris-sample-robot** \[**-l**\]

## DESCRIPTION

The netris-sample-robot is a sample implementation of the robot protocol. It plays quite well but isn't too hard to beat. The robot should be started from netris with the option **-r** to connect or wait for another player to join. You can also let two robots play against each other in that way, if you like.

## OPTIONS

- **-l**

  Writes some log information into the file **log** in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out.

## EXAMPLES

- To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line:

  netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l'

You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot.
