okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for pioneers-server-gtk from the Games Manual section, and it's genuinely so fun. sit down, grab a snack 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

pioneers-server-gtk — the graphical game server for Pioneers 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pioneers-server-gtk [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this manual page is the quick little rundown of the pioneers-server-gtk command. Short and sweet, we love that for us.

Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game, built for the GNOME desktop environment. it's giving iconic, it's giving classic, no cap 👑

It uses a client/server model so you can play networked games with anywhere from two to eight players — yes, eight, the whole group chat can pull up 💅

This specific program gives you a GUI-configurable stand-alone server, which you then connect to from pioneers itself. literally the main character of your game night 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+ commandline options. that's it, that's the section, slay 💅

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

You can influence the server's default settings with these three environment variables, bestie:

  • PIONEERS_METASERVER — the hostname of the metaserver, used when no metaserver is specified in the user interface. (the settings file takes precedence, iykyk)
  • PIONEERS_SERVER_NAME — the hostname of the server. if it's not set, the hostname gets determined by hostname(1). (the settings file takes precedence here too)
  • PIONEERS_DIR — the path to the game definition files. if it's not set, the default installation path will be used.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game and $XDG_DATA_HOME/pioneers/*.game — game definitions 📝
  • /usr/share/pixmaps/pioneers-server.png — the game icon 🖼️
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pioneers-server — your saved settings 💾
  • /usr/share/games/pioneers/computer_names — a list of names the computer player can use 🤖
