## DESCRIPTION

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**xsoldier** is a space-based shoot'em up game. You fly around and try to kill everything that moves... and everything that doesn't move... You get the idea.

## OPTIONS

- **-d, -display** name

  The (X window) display on which you want to play the game.

  Set the speed of the game. A higher number means the game runs slower. If you use this option the ranking mode is turned off.

- **-c, -cmap**

  Do nothing (only for backward compatibility).

- **-s, -score**

  Show the TOP10 soldiers, i.e. the highscore.

- **-h, -help**

  Show a short help text and exit.

- **-maxlevel**

  Force max level enemy attack, making your life really harder.

- **-nopausemessage**

  Don't show "Press \[p\] to resume game." message when the game is paused. Useful for capturing a screen snapshot.
