XTREK(1)                 X Version 11(1 November 1989)                 XTREK(1)


NAME
      xtrek - X based space warfare extravaganza

SYNOPSIS
      xtrek hostname

DESCRIPTION
      The xtrek game is a real time, interactive shoot-em up space war game.

      It is a fun and exciting pastime, which can waste hours of valuable time,
      and comsume CPU minutes like there is no tomorrow.  It is also useful in
      overloading the average ethernet to a horrifying extent.

X DEFAULTS
      The program understands the following class values:

      font (class Font)
              Specifies the name of the normal font.  The default is
              ``vtsingle.''

      background (class Background)
              Specifies the color to use for the background of the window.  The
              default is ``white.''

      foreground (class Foreground)
              Specifies the color to use for displaying text in the window.
              Setting the class name instead of the instance name is an easy
              way to have everything that would normally appear in the "text"
              color change color.  The default is ``black.''

      cursorColor (class Foreground)
              Specifies the color to use for the text cursor.  The default is
              ``black.''

      reverseVideo (class ReverseVideo)
              Specifies whether or not reverse video should be simulated.  The
              default is ``false.''
