LINCITY(6)

✨ LINCITY ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to lincity and xlincity — it's a city/country simulation game and it's literally about to eat up your whole afternoon 🏙️💖 yes, this is from the Games Manual section of the manual pages, iykyk.

🌸 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]

like, that's the whole vibe check right there. <pink>two binaries, one city, infinite chaos</pink> 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -w — slaps a gamma correction on the graphics using the values 1.0 for red, 0.0 for green and 0.4 for blue. 🦋

okay heads up bestie: these gamma values are not a gamma correction in the traditional way. fr fr. just check it out and see how it looks. 👀

• -R red — sets the value for the gamma correction for the red color-part. takes a floating point argument, so like, a decimal, not vibes. 🔴
• -G green — the value for the gamma correction for the green color-part. also a floating point argument. 💚
• -B blue — the value for the gamma correction for the blue color-part. floating point argument, yes ma'am. 💙
• -m mode — sets the VGA mode. this option is ignored on X Windows, so if you're on X, don't even bother. 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

pick your fighter ✨

• -v — be verbose on startup, which tells you the lincity version. not me wanting to know exactly which version I'm running 💀
• -g geom — specify the X11 geometry argument. e.g. use -g +0+0 to put the window in the upper left corner on startup. main character energy, top-left placement, periodt. 📐
• -d — performs 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 — adds an extra border around the game. cute lil frame ✨ also, 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, bestie, no one's stopping 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. like, don't abandon it. it will not forgive you.
