DESCRIPTION

       SuperTux is a classic style 2D platform game.  Run and jump through multiple worlds, fighting off enemies

       stuff on the way.

ENVIRONMENT

       SUPERTUX_LANG
              Overrides locale detection and forces locale to given value, e.g. "de_DE".

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.
