tags 626934 + patch thanks You'll find a possible man page attached to this e-mail. I basically took the upstream README file, tweaked it a little and formatted it appropriately for man.
The page is written in SGML, simply convert them to troff by running:
docbook2man tomatoes.sgml
If you have any questions regarding this man page do not hesitate to
ask (please CC me explicitly, thanks).
It would be great if you could include the man page for Wheezy.
Thanks!
Greetings
Helge

<refsect1><title>SYNOPSIS</title>
<para>
<emphasis>I Have No Tomatoes</emphasis> is an extreme leisure time
activity idea of which
culminates in the following question: How many tomatoes can you smash in
ten short minutes? If you have the time to spare, this game has the
vegetables just waiting to be eliminated!
</para>

<refsect1><title>NOTES</title>
<para>
Before starting the game, you should know that the game uses OpenGL for
hardware accelerated 2d & 3d graphics. This means that you must
have fully
OpenGL compatible graphics card in your PC. Your card also needs to be
able
to use 512x512 textures, and this rules out Voodoo 1, 2 and 3 (limited
to
256x256 textures).
</para>
<para>
As for the CPU and memory requirements, I'd recommend something along
the
lines of Pentium II (or an AMD equivalent) and 64MB. The game works on
much
slower systems as well, as the game skips frames if the system can't
keep up
with the 60 FPS rate; this ensures that the game runs at the right
speed, you
just don't get very smooth animation.
</para>
<para>
This game features solid game play with beautiful OpenGL API driven
isometric
3d graphics and nice music. It also includes a MOD player, and you can
use
your own MOD-type music in the game background. Just copy your
XM/S3M/IT/MOD - files to the <filename>music</filename> subdirectory of
<emphasis>I Have No Tomatoes</emphasis>
and the game plays them. You can press <keycap>F1</keycap> to skip a
song when ingame. There's
room for 128 MODs. Btw, if you don't have any MOD music, ModArchive
(<ulink url="www.modarchive.com">www.modarchive.com</ulink>) is a good
place to download some.
</para>

<refsect1><title>CONFIGURATION</title>
<para>
You may also want to set some options, such as the screen resolution and
color depth. By default, <emphasis>I Have No Tomatoes</emphasis> starts
fullscreen in 800x600
resolution, 32bpp. To fine-tune the preferences to suit your PC better,
open
the file <filename>config.cfg</filename> in a text editor (Notepad will
do). Under
Unix this file is stored in <filename>~/.tomatoes/</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Most likely you'll be interested in these lines:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><option>video_mode</option> = 800 x
600</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>video_mode_color_depth</option> =
32</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>video_mode_fullscreen</option> =
1</para></listitem>
<listitem><para> <option>sound_enabled</option> =
1</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
To set the resolution, change the <option>video_mode</option> - line
(some common
resolutions include 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768). Most common color
depths are 16 and 32, and sometimes 24.
<option>video_mode_fullscreen</option> controls
whether the game starts in fullscreen or in a window. When running in
windowed mode, you can use any resolution you want (the 4:3 aspect ratio
modes are still preferred). If you don't have a sound card (or want to
turn
the sounds off), set <option>sound_enabled</option> to 0 (zero).
</para>
<para>
Finally, if you want to know how many frames your system draws per
second
(FPS), set <option>show_fps</option> to 1. FPS should be over 60 for
smooth animation.
</para>
<para>
The default keys can be changed from the Options menu in game, so no
need
change them here.
</para>
<para>
When you're satisfied with the <filename>config.cfg</filename>
settings, by all means, proceed
to start the game :)
