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.

       For more about how to play,  please  read  the  excellent  online  help
       provided with the game.  Right click almost anywhere to get help.
