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

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.
-Rred The value for the gamma correction for red color-part. This option takes a floating point
argument.
-Ggreen
The value for the gamma correction for green color-part. This option takes a floating point
argument.
-Bblue
The value for the gamma correction for blue color-part. This option takes a floating point
argument.
-mmode
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).
-ggeom
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.
