LinCity is an SVGALIB and X based city/country simulation game for Linux.
(Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD, HP_UX, AIX and IRIX are ALPHA at this time, but have
been reported to work - sometimes needing a tweak to the Makefile[s].)

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.

The code is (sort of) BETA; it is still under development. However few
problems have been reported and the game is more or less complete. It would
be nice if you could send me an e-mail (ijp@floot.demon.co.uk) saying
'good', 'bad', etc., or any bug reports or ideas. Also, for those who are
really keen, I have set up a mailing list. To subscribe, send mail to

      majordomo@floot.demon.co.uk   with

      subscribe lincity     in the body of your mail.
