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 main-
       tain a city. You must feed, house, provide jobs and goods for your residents. You can build a sustainable economy with the help	of  renew-
       able 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

       -s, --sdl
	      Use the SDL display mode

       -w, --window

       -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.
