NAME

gnocatan - network implementation of Settlers of Catan

SYNOPSIS

gnocatan [ -s server ] [ --server server ] [ -p port ] [ --port port ] [ -n name ] [ --name name ]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the gnocatan command.

Gnocatan 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 gnocatan-server-gtk or gnocatan-server-console to play. An AI client, gnocatanai, is also available.

OPTIONS

Gnocatan 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:

GNOCATAN_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 gnocatan understands.
