Package: sopwith
Version: 1.7.1
When starting a game of sopwith, there isn't any option to jump to a
higher level of difficulty when playing against the AI. The attached
patch adds the ability to specify a higher level of difficulty from the
command line. For example, applying this patch allows the user to run
sopwith -g2
to begin at difficulty 2. By default, the game begins at level 0 (zero).
This patch also modifies the help screen to let the user know the option
is available.
