#Usermanual First the program will ask how many players will be playing the game. The minimum amount of players is 2 and the maximum amount of players is 4. Each player will be appointed to a faction. Now every player can build a settlement and a road after every player has built a settlement and road, they can build a second settlement and road in reversed order. When the players build their second settlement they then receive the resources surrounding that specific settlement. Now that the setup is complete the player that placed the last settlement will begin. After the players have rolled the dice the resources connected to the number that the player rolled with the dice.

Now as for the commands a player has to put in while it's their turn: #Build Settlement When it's the players turn, they can build a new settlement by giving the command build settlement. With that they will be asked where they want to build said settlement and to enter the coordinates, then the program will check if those coordinates are available or not. Then the program will subtract the resources needed to build a settlement. If the player has insufficient resources the settlement will not be built and an error message will appear. The turn of the current player will continue until the player ends it.

#Build City During the players turn they can build a city on the same coordinates that they have already built a settlement on. To do that they have to enter the command build city. Then they have to add the coordinates that they want the city to be built at. If the coordinates are available and the settlement at that coordinate is of the same faction as the player then the city can be built there. The program will then check if the player has sufficient resources to build the city, then the program will subtract them of the players resources, otherwise the city won't be build and the player continues their turn until they end it.

#Build Road During the current players turn, the player can build a new road by giving the command build road. Then the player will be asked to give the coordinates for where they want to build the new road after entering the coordinates the program will check to see if they are valid coordinates and if they aren't occupied. If the coordinates are checked and there was no error message, then the program will check if the player has enough resources to build the road if they do the program will then subtract the amount of resources of the player. If they do not have enough resources the road will not be built and the player will receive an error message. The player continues their turn until they end it.

#Trade with Bank The current player can trade resources with the bank by entering the command trade with bank. The player then can enter what and how many resources they want then they have to enter what resources they will give in return. The trade course for the resources is set to 1:4. That means the player will have to give 4 resources trade for one of their choosing from the bank. If they do not have enough resources to give the trade will not be completed and the player may continue their turn.

#Next Player When the current player has done all the building and trading they wanted and now want to end their turn they can end it by entering the command next player. By entering this command the player relinquishes their turn and the next player may start their turn.

#Quit If a player wants to quit the game they can enter the command quit while it's their turn to quit the game.
