.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.

.SH "SEE ALSO"

.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.
