 NAME
      xpool -  X-window pool game

 SYNOPSIS
       xpool [-d displayName]


 DESCRIPTION
        If you know how to play pool, excellent!, if you  don't,
        here is all I can say (and know) about this game:
        With the current setup, we have two sets of balls, first
        set   is ball # 1-7, second  set is ball # 9-15. whoever
        gets his/her balls in first and then gets the black ball
        in last wins. We don't have automatic scoring right now,
        so whoever wins is supposed to increase his/her score by
        clicking on his/her '+' color button.
        If you  want to  see where your  ball will  go, click on
        'Cheat' button to get a trajectory of your shot.
        The cue stick lenght determines the hitting strenght, so
        if you want to hit harder, change your cue stick  lenght
        by moving your mouse away from the white ball. You don't
        have to click  on the white ball to start stick handling
        you can click  anywhere  on the  table and  start  stick
        handler. The white ball  goes to the opposite  direction
        relative to the cue stick.


    OPTIONS
        -d displayName
              display name you want the xpool to run on.
        if  you don't  use this  option, xpool  will  use default
        display.
