Performance

Display

Most terminals aren't designed for massive throughput, so the game cannot be played at full 320x200 resolution at high frames per second.

Pass the command-line argument -scaling n to determine the level of scaling. Smaller numbers denote a larger display.

A scale of 4 is used by default, and should work flawlessly on all terminals. Most terminals (excluding Windows CMD) should manage with scales up to and including 2.

Input

The following terminal input options are not mandatory but may improve input handling.

• Disable character repeat delay to prevent delayed repeated inputs.
• Increase polling rate to ensure input on every frame.
