+.TH netris-sample-robot 6 "16 Feb 2002" "0.5" "Netris Sample Robot"
+.SH "NAME"
+netris-sample-robot \- sample robot for netris
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.B netris-sample-robot
+.RB [\| \-l \|]
+.SH "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
+.B \-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.
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+.B \-l
+Writes some log information into the file
+.B log
+in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out.
+
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.TP
+To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line:
+netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l'
+.P
+You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot.
+

+.BR netris (6)
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+One known bug of the netris-sample-robot is that it hangs quite often. This was
+already filed as a bugreport against the package so please refrain from doing
+so again.  If you have an idea why this happens or know a solution how to fix
+it feel free to mail me.
