DESCRIPTION
The

OPTIONS
pong accepts the following options:
--window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
--root Draw on the root window.
--window-id number Draw on the specified window.
--mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
--install Install a private colormap for the window.
--visual visual Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
visual.
--clock The score of the game will be the current time.
--noise float How noisy the video signal should be (between 0.0 and 4.0 or
so).
--fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
(-p1 | --p2) mode Set a player to either
ai,
mouse,
tablet,
kbleft (for W and
S), or
kbright (or just
kb, for arrow keys).
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with
--root.
X RESOURCES
