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
