SYNOPSISpioneers-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 play‐
ers. You will need to connect to a machine running either pioneers-
server-gtk or pioneers-server-console to play. An AI client, pioneer‐
sai, 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.
