DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pioneers 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.
OPTIONS
Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the
following options:
-s, --server server
Hostname of the server
-p, --port port
Portname of the server
-n, --name name
Name of the player
When the options are provided, the client automatically quits when the
connection is broken.
ENVIRONMENT
The default settings can be influenced with the following environment
variable:
PIONEERS_META_SERVER
The hostname of the meta-server. If it is not set, the default
meta-server will be used.
DEVELOPERS AND TRANSLATORS
With the commandline option --language code the values of the
environment variables LANGUAGE and LC_ALL can be overriden. The code
should be one of the 2-letter language code pioneers understands.
