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.
