=head1 NAME
B<openjazz> - free/open-source game engine for Jazz Jackrabbit
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openjazz> I<[-f]> I<[dir] ...>
B<openjazz-shareware> I<-f>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit(tm)
games. OpenJazz can be compiled on a wide range of operating systems,
including Windows 98/Me/XP and Linux. OpenJazz requires the files
from any of the following games:
=over
=item Jazz Jackrabbit
=item Jazz Jackrabbit CD
=item Jazz Jackrabbit Shareware Edition
=item Jazz Jackrabbit Christmas Edition
=item Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare 1995
=back
OpenJazz will not work with any of the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 games. Don't
get confused: there's a "Holiday Hare 1998", which isn't supported
(only the 1995 version is).
There is no support for saving/loading the game. Multiplayer
is supported, but not well tested.
B<openjazz-shareware> launches the shareware version of the
game. It's just a wrapper script that executes "openjazz
/usr/share/games/openjazz/shareware".
To play one of the retail games (listed above), copy its data files to
a directory, then either run B<openjazz> from within that directory,
or else run it with the full path to the directory as an argument.
=head1 OPTIONS
B<-f> starts the game fullscreen. Any other option beginning with - will
be ignored. Anything else is treated as a directory to be added to the
file search path.
=head1 FILES
Game data files must be named in uppercase (e.g. B<BLOCKS.000>).
The search path for game data files includes, in order:
=over
=item the current directory
=item $HOME/.openjazz/
=item all paths listed on the command line I<in reverse order>
=back
In addition, the file B<openjazz.000> (containing the OpenJazz logo,
note the lowercase name) will be searched for in B</usr/share/games/openjazz>
after all other directories (so each separate game doesn't need its
own copy, when you've got multiple games installed).
B<$HOME/.openjazz/> stores user preferences (B<openjazz.cfg>) and any
custom levels downloaded from multiplayer servers. Will be created
if it doesn't exist. B<openjazz.cfg> is not human-readable nor
editable.
