This document described the configuration syntax of monopd game configuration
files. See the actual configuration files within games/ to see how
this syntax is applied.

Configuration Groups
====================

<string>

Board configuration group. Possible values are: General, Board, CardGroups,
Cards, EstateGroups and Estates.

General
-------

The <General> group contains properties specific to the gameboard or all
elements on it. Possible key/value pairs are:

name=string

The name of the game configuration. "Atlantic", for example.

description=string

A short description of the game. "The classic Monopoly game", for example.

Board
-----

The <Board> group contains properties specific to the gameboard or all
elements on it. Possible key/value pairs are:

go=int

Defines which estate (0 being the first to be defined, 1 the next, and so
on) is the estate where players should start.

bgcolor=#rrggbb

Defines a background color for the board and is the default for all estates.

CardGroups
----------

The <CardGroups> group has no specific properties of its own, but it has
group elements/members (sets of cards) with properties (in the regular
key/value pairs).

[string]

Group element. String defines the name of the element. Possible key/value
pairs for cardgroups are:

color=#rrggbb
bgcolor=#rrggbb

Define a (text) color and background color for these cards. Different card
groups on real gameboards usually have different colors as well.

Cards
-----

The <Cards> group has no specific properties of its own, but it has group
elements (the cards) with properties (in the regular key/value pairs).

[string]

Group element. String defines the name or caption of the game card. Valid
key/value pairs are:

group=string

Defines to which group this card belongs. String must be identical to the
name of one of the cardgroups previously defined. Monopd will ignore cards
without a matching group.

TODO...

tojail=0|1

TODO...

advanceto=int

Defines an estate a token should advance to. The integer defines the n-th
estate defined later, 0-indexed.

Defines a number of fields to advance. Can be negative, in which case a
token should be taken back a number of fields.

Defines an amount which should be paid upon getting this card. Can be
negative, in which case an amount of money is given to the player.
