Examples would thus be: <pre> ggz://some.ggz.server ggz://me@some.other.ggz.server:5688 </pre> </p> <h4>Startup script</h4> <p> A startup script can be used to execute commands automatically during the startup of the program. For example, a user might want to connect to a server and join a room without having to enter the commands by hand each time. </p> <p> The location of the script is at ~/.ggz/ggz-txt.startup. The example above might look like: <pre> /connect some.ggz.server /join room 1 /list types Hi there, it's me again! </pre> </p> <h4>Playing games</h4> <p> This core client can be used like any other to play games. If it is running in a plain console ($DISPLAY is not set), only console game clients can be run by it, which currently only exist for the TicTacToe game. If it is running in a X11 environment terminal emulator, much more games are available. </p> </body> </html>
