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.

Make sure to also create an "info" file, so the collection will be
recognized by SuperTux.
~/.supertux2/levels/sample_collection/info

For easier distribution, the level collection can be bundled in a Zip
