BYGFOOT(6)

  NAME
Bygfoot - a football management game for Linux and other Unices.

  SYNOPSIS
bygfoot [-e|--editor] [-d dir] [-f file] [-u|--update] game

  DESCRIPTION
This man page documents version 1.6 of Bygfoot. Bygfoot is a small and simple football (a.k.a. soccer) manager game featuring some of the world's most important leagues and cups. You manage a team from one such league: you form the team, buy and sell players, get promoted or relegated and of course try to be successful. The game is deliberately kept simple. Players have only one value that reflects their playing ability, namely their skill value (they have some other values, though, like age or position). The only thing that you have to do besides managing your players is to look after your stadium: keep / make it safe and see that you have enough capacity. Because of the simplicity of the game, and because most buttons have tool-tips you won't need much help while playing.

  OPTIONS
-d [dir] - allows you to choose another directory to search for pixmaps and text-files. Default directories that are searched are $HOME/.bygfoot, ./support_files and possibly (depending on the package format you have) /usr/local/share/bygfoot/support_files. -f [file] - allows you to choose a custom country file instead of one of those included with your Bygfoot release. You can omit the full path if the file's in $HOME/.bygfoot/text_files. -e --editor - allows you to start directly the team editor. -u --update - starts the Bygfoot Online Update Frontend (available in versions higher than 1.7.0 rev2. [game] - allows you to load directly a previously saved game. You can omit the full path if the file's in $HOME/.bygfoot/saves. Any other argument is interpreted as [game].

  FILES
/usr/share/bygfoot/support_files/ - directory containing pixmaps used by the GUI (prefix might be /usr/local if you've compiled the game yourself). /usr/share/bygfoot/support_files/text_files/ - directory containing the built-in country files, team definitions and other text data. /usr/bin/bygfoot - the standalone executable (depends on GTK+2). $HOME/.bygfoot - user configuration directory.
