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.

SEE ALSO

       or know a solution how to fix it feel free to mail us.
