GLULXE

NAME

glulxe - execute Glulx interactive fiction

SYNOPSIS

glulxe filename [ options ]

OVERVIEW

glulxe executes Glulx-format interactive fiction games, which typically end with .ulx, .gblorb, .glb, .blorb, or .blb. glulxe can work with only a terminal.

The only required parameter is the filename of the game to play. The remaining parameters are all optional, and come from the glktermw library. Further information can be found in the libglktermw-dev package in the directory /usr/share/doc/libglktermw-dev.
