Configuration
Settings are read from a .ron file at one of the following locations (checked in order):
./settings.ron./pong-cli.ron$HOME/.pong-cli.ron$HOME/.config/pong-cli/settings.ron(for Linux),
$HOME/AppData/Roaming/pong-cli/settings.ron(for Windows)
$HOME/Library/Preferences/pong-cli/settings.ron(for MacOS)
To start, copy the default settings.ron file to one of these locations.
Once the settings.ron file is in place, you can edit it as you wish.
The file itself is commented, so just open it to see all available settings.
Download with `curl` on Linux
On Linux, you can enter the following (if you have curl installed), to
automatically create the proper directory/directories and download the latest settings.ron file:
mkdir -p ~/.config/pong-cli
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Noah2610/pong-cli/master/settings.ron > ~/.config/pong-cli/settings.ron
