USAGE¶

You may need to specify the path to the questions database you want to use with the --database argument. The database can be either folder or a compressed file.

Additionally, you can choose a different look using the --skin option to tell it where the appearance information it should use is located.

-m, --mute

Disable music and sounds.

-f, --fullscreen

Start in fullscreen mode (it can be windowed ingame with F11).

Prints the help and exists.

-v, --version
