Here are some useful command-line options for Braid; to use them you can put the

se arguments in the "Target" section of a Shortcut's properties, or run Braid fr

om a command prompt.
Example:
braid.exe -60fps -windowed -no_post
(Run Braid with the frame rate forced to 60 frames per second, in a window, with
out postprocessing).
The options are:
-windowed : Run Braid in a window, rather than full-screen. (If you don't speci
fy this option, you can switch between fullscreen and windowed at runtime by pre
ssing Alt-Enter.)
-60fps :
-30fps :
-20fps :
-15fps :
-12fps :
-10fps : Bypass Braid's startup frame-rate check and force the game to try and r
un at this many frames per second. If the number is too high for your computer,
action in the game will be slowed down. Because you are skipping the startup t
est, postprocessing will always be on. If you want to turn it off (and thus pos
sibly hit the frame rate target you are going for), use -no_post below. If you
press the 0 key in-game, you'll get some HUD text telling you what frame rate th
e game is trying to hit, how fast it is actually going, and whether postprocessi
ng is turned on.
-no_post : Do not perform postprocessing effects. This may make the game run mo
re quickly on your graphics hardware, but time-oriented visual effects will be m
uch simpler.
-universe universe_name : Run someone's modifications that have been previously
installed (changes to levels, graphics, etc). Instructions on how to create mod
s will be posted separately.
-editor : Enable the in-game editor. If you use this command-line option, press
ing F11 will open the editor to the level you are currently playing.
-no_music : disable music.
-no_vsync : The game will not synch to the vertical refresh. This may allow the
game to run a little faster, but you will see tearing in the image.
-language english :
-language french :
-language german :
-language italian :
-language spanish :
-language portuguese :
-language japanese :
-language korean :
-language tchinese : Run Braid in the designated language. If you do not use o
ne of these options, Braid will read the appropriate language setting from Windo
ws (or from Steam if you are using Steam).
Here are some useful keypresses:
Print Screen : Take a screenshot and save it in the Braid folder. You must have
write permission to the Braid folder for this to work.
0 : Toggle the frame rate display.
F11 : Open and close the editor (if enabled with -editor).
There are a lot of key commands for the editor; they will be documented separate
ly.
