freevial - trivia platform for community events

freevial [OPTIONS] [--database <PATH>] [--skin <PATH>]

This page briefly documents the freevial command. Freevial is trivia-like game for community events (idealy to be played with a projector).

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.

Run Freevial in debug mode (this doesn't change much at all).
Disable music and sounds.
Start in fullscreen mode (it can be windowed ingame with F11).
Start in locked mode (game can't be closed nor questions aborted; unlock by pressing the l-key in the team selection screen).
Prints the help and exists.
Prints information about the current version and release series, and exists.
Prints information about the loaded database and exists. This can be combined with the --database option.

Disables the music. You can use --mute to also disable sounds.

Tries to use the psyco module in order to accelerate Freevial. This is not recommended, as it will need more memory.
