NAME¶
pioneers-editor - Editor for the Pioneers boardgame
SYNOPSIS¶
pioneers-editor [filename]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
pioneers-editor command.
Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of
Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment. It uses a
client/server model for networked play of between two and eight players. You
will need to connect to a machine running either
pioneers-server-gtk or
pioneers-server-console to play. An AI client,
pioneersai, is
also available.
Pioneers-editor can be used to create new board layouts. Clicking on the
plus and minus signs on the side of the board will increase and decrease the
board size respectively. Left clicking on a tile allows one to select the
terrain type; Middle or right clicking allows one to set the chit number or
port type and orientation. The chit number can also be set by pressing the
number key(s) while the pointer is hovering over the tile.
In the settings tab, several game settings can be adjusted.
PLAYING¶
Games created with pioneers-editor can be played with pioneers-server-gtk and
pioneers-server-console, if they are installed in the global game directory.
Alternatively, they can be played with pioneers-server-console, by using the
--file option.
OPTIONS¶
Pioneers-editor accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options. See
pioneers-editor --help for details.
FILES¶
/usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game
Global game files. Games which are installed here can be
selected by title, and played from pioneers-server-gtk.
