NAME

       lincity-ng - City simulator game with polished graphics

SYNOPSIS

       lincity-ng [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the usage of lincity-ng

       lincity-ng is a  City Simulation Game. It is a polished and improved version of the old LinCity game: 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.

       This game is similar to the commercial simulation game with a similar name.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with  long  options  starting  with  two  dashes
       (`-').  A summary of options is included below.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Show version of program.

       -g, --gl
              Use the OpenGL display mode

       -s, --sdl
              Use the SDL display mode

       -w, --window
              Run lincity-ng in windowed mode

       -f, --fullscreen
              Run lincity-ng in fullscreen mode

       -m, --mute
              Turn off sound

       -S, --size
              specify screensize (eg. -S 1024x768)

       -q, --quick
              speficify how quick is the fast speed. (eg. -q 1 is the fastest possible with full animations, may
              heat hardware due to average 1 ms pause.  -q 9 is the default 10ms pause) In -q 9 animation  steps
              are skipped for speed. 1..8 do all animation steps in fast mode.

UPGRADE from 1.x to 2.x

       A  new  format  for  saved  games  is  used  since  2.0,  but old games can be imported and automagically
       converted. Just copy $HOME/.lincity/*   (old location for lincity and lincity-ng 1.x) to  $HOME/.lincity-
       ng/ (new location since 2.0).

          cp -a ~/.lincity/* ~/.lincity-ng/

       At the start of the game, one message will popup to remind you have some changes to do in your city.
