Command line options

[mlutze]

Currently we have a minimal command line which usually doesn't do anything. What options should go in command line options, and what should go in a config file?

Fully connected:

• silent
• config
• log
• dimensions
• period
• seed
• replay

Other requirements

• mutually exclusive options
• dependent options

[mlutze]

• --silent or --quiet: just report who wins
• --config <path>
• --log <path>: logs all the game states to the given file
• --dimensions: the dimensions of the display screen (not the board)
  • I think this can usually be inferred from the size of the terminal, right?
  • the size of the board is determined by the configuration file
• --delay: milliseconds between frames
• --sounds: we could play the terminal bell every time someone dies, which would be funny
• --seed <seed>: the seed for randomness
• --replay <path>: replays a game from a log file

Things relating to which map to use/generate and which AIs to use can go in the config file.
