NAME

lincity, xlincity - a city/country simulation game.

SYNOPSIS

lincity [-w] [-R red-gamma] [-G green-gamma] [-B blue-gamma] [-m mode]
xlincity [-v] [-g geometry] [-d] [-r] [-w] [-R red-gamma] [-G green-gamma] [-B blue-gamma]

OPTIONS

-w: Use a gamma correction for the graphic with the values 1.0 for red, 0.0 for green and 0.4 for blue.
Please note: The gamma values used are not a gamma correction in the traditional way. Just check it out.
-R red: The value for the gamma correction for red color-part. This option takes a floating point argument.
-G green: The value for the gamma correction for green color-part. This option takes a floating point argument.
-B blue: The value for the gamma correction for blue color-part. This option takes a floating point argument.
-m mode: Set the VGA mode. This option is ignored on X Windows. The choices for modes are: lincity -m 10 ## mode 10, 640x480 lincity -m 11 ## mode 11, 800x600 lincity -m 12 ## mode 12, 1024x768 lincity -m 13 ## mode 13, 1280x1024
-v: Be verbose on startup (this tells the lincity version).
-g geom: Specify the X11 geometry argument. E.g. use -g +0+0 to put the window to the upper left corner on startup.
-d: Perform pix doubling. Pix doubling renders each pixel as a 2 x 2 square, which has the effect of making the game appear twice as large on the screen. This option only applies to the X Windows version.
-r: Add an extra border around the game. This option only applies to the X Windows version.

DESCRIPTION

Lincity is a city/country simulation game running with SVGA graphics on a Linux console or in an X11 window under Linux and other platforms.

You are required to build and maintain a city. You must feed, house, provide jobs and goods for your residents. You can build a sustainable economy with the help of renewable energy and recycling, or you can go for broke and build rockets to escape from a pollution ridden and resource starved planet, it's up to you. Due to the finite resources available in any one place, this is not a game that you can leave for long periods of time.
