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.

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.
