Synopsis

Usage

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.

-m, --mute
Disable music and sounds.
-f, --fullscreen
Start in fullscreen mode (it can be windowed ingame with F11).

-h, --help
Prints the help and exists.
-v, --version
Prints information about the current version and release series, and exists.
--info-db, --info-database

--no-music
