<para>A simple software renderer based on SDL, this
is the default and the safest options.</para>
</listitem>

<term>opengl</term>

the hardware supports OpenGL.</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>delta</term>
<listitem>
<para>The delta renderer uses SDL for rendering and
doesn't use hardware acceleration, it will however
try to increase rendering performance by only re
rendering screen elements that have changed. Using
the delta renderer will disable some effects such
as scrolling background to allow maximum
benefits.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Disable automatic scrolling. Automatic scrolling
will cause the screen to scroll whenever the mouse reaches
the border of the screen. Automatic scrolling will only be
active in fullscreen mode or when mouse-grab is
enabled.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>--drag-drop-scrolling</term>
<listitem>
<para>Enable drag'n drop scrolling. By default Pingus will
use a rubber-band scrolling where the scroll speed
depends on how far away the cursor is from the position
when the mouse button has been clicked. In drag&drop
mode scrolling will behave more like in traditional GUI
applications such as Gimp, where clicking the scroll
button will 'pick up' the playfield and allow to move it
around till it is released again.</para>

Pingus comes with a build in level editor. The level editor can
currently be used to edit level files (*.pingus) as well as
prefabricated objects (*.prefabs). Worldmaps (*.worldmap) can
currently not be edited with the editor.
</para>
<para>
All Pingus data files, except the sound and images, are raw text
files and can be edited in a text editor if the editor isn't
sufficient.
</para>
<para>
If you want to submit a level to be included in the next release
follow the following naming convention:
</para>
<para>
<filename><replaceable>{theme}</replaceable><replaceable>{number}</replaceable>-<replaceable>{nickname}</replaceable>.pingus</filename>
</para>
<para>
Do not use space or uppercase in the levelname and keep the
levelname simple (i.e. <filename>snow1-grumbel.pingus</filename>
not
<filename>pingus-go-on-a-long-journey-in-snowland-grumbel.pingus</filename>).
The filename should not reflect the actual level title, it
simply should be unique and not conflict with other peoples
levels. If you plan on building a whole levelset, name the
levels after the levelset.
</para>
<para>
To submit a level send it to <email>pingus-devel@nongnu.org</email>.

<title>Prefabs</title>
<para>
A prefab, short for prefabricated object, is a group of
objects that have been combined into a new single object. A
classic case of a prefab would for example be a snowman, it is
build out of multiple smaller snowball objects and then saved
as prefab to allow easy reuse in multiple levels. Unlike
simple object groups, prefab are saved as reference in the
level, thus if the prefab is updated, all levels will see the
change. Like object groups prefabs can be ungrouped to break
them back down to individual objects if individual editing is
needed, they are seizing to be prefabs at that point and
changes to the .prefab file will no longer be reflected in the
level.
</para>
<para>
Prefabs behave pretty much like regular levels, to create a
prefab simply start a new level and insert the objects as
usual, unlike regular levels the level size is ignored and
thus you have to place your object around the center of the
levels, marked by a cross, to have the prefab function
properly. To save a prefab as prefab instead of level you have
to append .prefab suffix to the filename.
</para>
<para>
Thumbnail generation for prefabs is currently done offline
with the script
<filename>./tools/generate-prefab-images.sh</filename>
available from the Pingus source tree.

<title>UI Quircks</title>
<para>
The Pingus level editor is best used with a combination of
mouse and keyboard, all essential functions have keyboard
shortcuts.
</para>
<para>
Unlike more traditional GUIs, the Pingus editor lacks
scrollbars, so to move around the level or the object list on
the right simply use the middle or right mouse button and
drag&drop the list around.
</para>
<para>
Objects from the object list can be inserted into the level by
drag&dropping them over to the level.
