ENVIRONMENT

FILES

~/.supertux2

Contains configuration and savegames. Also acts as an overlay of the SuperTux game data path: Files placed here, as well as contents of Zip archives in this directory, will override or supplement game data files.

EXAMPLES

To play level /tmp/mylevel.stl in a window of size 800x600, run the program like this:

supertux2 --window --geometry 800x600 /tmp/mylevel.stl

To play a previously recorded demo /tmp/mylevel.demo of level /tmp/mylevel.stl, run SuperTux like this:

supertux2 --play-demo /tmp/mylevel.demo /tmp/mylevel.stl

Custom-made levels can be conveniently stored in the overlay data folder.

~/.supertux2/levels/sample_collection/level01.stl

(supertux-level
  (version 2)
  (name (_ "Sample Level"))
  (author "Myself")
  ...

Make sure to also create an "info" file, so the collection will be recognized by SuperTux.

~/.supertux2/levels/sample_collection/info

;SuperTux-Level-Subset
(supertux-level-subset
  (title "Sample Collection")
  (description "")
)

For easier distribution, the level collection can be bundled in a Zip archive.

~/.supertux2/sample_collection.zip

levels/sample_collection/info
levels/sample_collection/level01.stl
 ...

BUGS

This is a development version, so expect plenty of bugs.
