GAMECLOCK(6) Games Manual GAMECLOCK(6)NAME
gameclock - a simple game clock
SYNOPSIS
gameclock
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gameclock command.
gameclock is a simple application designed to track the time spent thinking by the players during a chess game. Various ways of tracking
time are supported, with only `countdown' (aka `blitz') and `fisher' for now. The graphical interface is keyboard driven and is intended to
be minimal and simple. The code is made to be extensible to other game types.

below.

-v, --verbose

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.

-f, --fullscreen

-m, --mute

-S, --size

-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.
