# tint(6)

clone of the original tint

## NAME

tint - clone of the original tint

## SYNOPSIS

**tint** \[*-h*\] \[*-l* level*\]* \[*-n*\] \[*-d*\] \[*-b* char*\]*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **tint** clone. As with all games (and especially with tint), you have to play it, not read about it.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the NOTES file in /usr/share/doc/tint.

- **-h**

  Show summary of options.

- **-l \<level\>**

  Specify the starting level (1-9). The higher the level you're starting from, the faster you'll earn points.

- **-n**

  Draw next shape. When the next shape is drawn, you might find the game to be easier, but it will be slower to earn points.

- **-d**

  Draw dotted lines.

- **-b \<char\>**

  Use the specified character (instead of spaces) to draw blocks.
