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.
