LINCITY(6)

NAME
lincity, xlincity - a city/country simulation game.

SYNOPSIS
lincity [-w] [-R red-gamma] [-G green-gamma] [-B blue-gamma]
xlincity [-v] [-g geometry] [-d] [-n] [-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.

-v  Be verbose on startup (this tells the LinCity version too).

-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  This doubles the size of the window. Please note: This option is only avail, if enabled in the Makefile.

-n  Don't show the opening help. The game starts up with a bare playfield.

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.
