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.
