80 Files placed here, as well as contents of Zip archives in this directory,
81 will override or supplement game data files.
83 To play level /tmp/mylevel.stl in a window of size 800x600, run
84 the program like this:
86 .B supertux2 --window --geometry 800x600 /tmp/mylevel.stl
88 To play a previously recorded demo /tmp/mylevel.demo of level
89 /tmp/mylevel.stl, run SuperTux like this:
91 .B supertux2 --play-demo /tmp/mylevel.demo /tmp/mylevel.stl
94 Custom-made levels can be conveniently stored in the overlay data folder.
97 .B ~/.supertux2/levels/sample_collection/level01.stl
101 (name (_ "Sample Level"))
106 Make sure to also create an "info" file, so the collection will be
107 recognized by SuperTux.
109 .B ~/.supertux2/levels/sample_collection/info
111 ;SuperTux-Level-Subset
112 (supertux-level-subset
113 (title "Sample Collection")
118 For easier distribution, the level collection can be bundled in a Zip
122 .B ~/.supertux2/sample_collection.zip
124 levels/sample_collection/info
125 levels/sample_collection/level01.stl
129 This is a development version, so expect plenty of bugs.
