NAME

shadow − full-screen armchair pilot’s view of the dogfight

SYNOPSIS

/usr/people/demos/shadow [ −i infile]

DESCRIPTION

The shadow demo allows passive observation of the dog environment.  The shadow operator sees a full-screen view of the world from a selected aircraft or of a selected aircraft from the control tower. 

The program asks your name and broadcasts it to the dog world.  The initial display is a help menu.  Any key starts the program.  At any time during the operation of the demo, the h key brings back the help page. 

The d key toggles the view from the cockpit to the control tower.  The z and x keys increase and decrease the field of view in the tower view.  The arrow keys select front, right, left, and rear cockpit views as in flight. The n key toggles between day and night views. 

The t key advances your view to the next of several aircraft that may be in the environment. 

Airshow Option

The −i option reads the aircraft positions from infile. infile should be created by using the −o option to dog(1D). This allows passive observation of the “airshow” recorded in infile.
