📜️ "A libre economic simulation game inspired by Simcity" 📜️
LinCity-NG is a city simulation game. It is a polished and improved version of the classic LinCity game. In the game, you are required to build and maintain a city. You can win the game either by building a sustainable economy or by evacuating all citizens with spaceships.
🍥️ Debian:
City simulator game with polished graphics
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.
🌍️ Wikipedia :
Lincity is a free and open-source software construction and management simulation game, which puts the player in control of managing a city's socio-economy, similar in concept to SimCity. The player can develop a city by buying appropriate buildings, services and infrastructure. Its name is both a Linux reference and a play on the title of the original city-building game, SimCity, and it was released under the GNU General Public License v2.
Gameplay
Lincity features complex 2D and top-down gameplay.
The simulation considers population, employment, basic water management and ecology, goods (availability and production), raw materials (ore, steel, coal), services (education, health, fire protection, leisures), energy (electricity and charcoal, coal with finite reserves, solar and wind power) and other constraints such as finance, pollution and transports. The player has to take care of population growth and various socio-economic balances.
Lincity can be won in two ways: reaching sustainable development, or evacuating the entire population with spacecraft. The Lincity homepage has a Hall of Fame, listing players who have succeeded in one of these two goals.
History
Lincity was created around 1995 as Simcity clone for Linux by I. J. Peters and hosted on SourceForge in 2001. Lincity was originally designed for Linux, but was ported later to Microsoft Windows, BeOS, OS/2, AmigaOS 4, and other operating systems. Mac OS X is supported when compiled from source code using GCC and run using X11.app. It uses SVGALib or X11 as its graphics interface API on Unix systems. As Lincity does software rendering it requires no 3D graphics card and also has very low demands on other computing resources, e.g. much memory or a fast processor. Since 1999 there have been only minor changes to Lincity; the last update was in August 2004.
Critical reception
In 2000, a CNN article on Linux games highlighted Lincity's sophistication. It was The Linux Game Tome Game of The Month for January 2005. Lincity was 2008 a featured freeware title on 1up.com. The Washington Post featured Lincity in 2009.
Successor
LinCity-NG

In 2005 significant development continued with the fork LinCity-NG, which was later transferred to Google Code and then to GitHub. Lincity-NG uses SDL2 and OpenGL, and features an isometric view, based on Simcity 3000, and graphics which resemble Simcity 3000's.

LinCity-NG est une amélioration de Lincity, et une simulation socio-économique libre et multi-plateforme inspirée de Simcity, dont l'objectif est de créer et développer sa ville. Le joueur est le maire d'une ville et conduit son expansion avec des contraintes budgétaires, d'accroissement de sa population, de pollution et de transports. Il prend en compte l'écologie, les biens (disponibilité et production), les matières premières (minerai, acier, charbon), l'énergie (électricité, charbon avec ressources finies, l'énergie solaire et éolienne), l'eau, les services (éducation, santé, lutte contre les incendies, loisirs). L'objectif ultime est de mettre en place une économie durable, ou d'évacuer ses citoyens par vaisseaux spatiaux.

Jeu de simulation de ville avec de jolis graphiques
LinCity-NG est un jeu de simulation urbaine. C'est une version améliorée du jeux LinCity. Le joueur doit construire et gérer une ville. Les habitants doivent avoir de la nourriture, des habitations, du travail et des biens. Il est possible de bâtir une économie durable avec l'aide des énergies renouvelables et du recyclage, mais il est également possible de tout casser et de construire une fusée pour s'échapper d'une planète polluée et sans ressources. À cause des ressources finies disponibles en un endroit, ce n'est pas un jeu qu'on peut laisser tomber pendant de longues périodes. Ce jeu est similaire au jeu commercial d'un nom similaire.
🌍️ Wikipedia :
Lincity, ou Lincity-NG (depuis la version 2.0), est un jeu vidéo de gestion, libre, dans lequel le joueur gère une ville.
Bien qu'il tire son inspiration du jeu SimCity, il est radicalement différent de celui-ci. Une particularité de Lincity (y compris NG) est d'avoir deux façons différentes de remporter la victoire :
• soit évacuer toute la population avec des fusées (ce qui laisse un monde dans un piteux état) ;
• soit atteindre un développement durable.
Le jeu est un logiciel libre disponible pour plusieurs plates-formes (Linux, MacOS X, Windows).
Le titre est un mot-valise formé à partir de Linux et SimCity.
Le jeu
Vous développez votre cité en achetant des bâtiments qui fournissent une production ou un service.
La simulation prend en compte :
• la population ;
• la nourriture ;
• les ressources en eau potable ;
• le logement ;
• le chômage ;
• les matières premières ;
• les produits manufacturés ;
• l'énergie ;
• les services (santé, éducation, protection incendie, loisirs).
Quelques contraintes :
• finances ;
• transports ;
• pollution ;
• ressources limitées.
• Différents indicateurs sont fournis sous forme de cartes et de statistiques.
Historique
Lincity

Le jeu initial, avec des graphismes en 2D. Le développement s'est arrêté avant l'an 2000. Il convient cependant pour des ordinateurs peu puissants (pas de carte graphique 3D, peu de mémoire, processeur lent…).
Lincity-NG
Il s'agit d'un fork du jeu original, auquel il ajoute des graphismes en 3D isométrique. Le mode de jeu est identique à celui de Lincity et il peut en lire les sauvegardes.
La version 2 (1.91.beta du 11 décembre 2007) ajoute une gestion des ressources en eau (minimaliste) et une écologie (encore un peu simple).
Il utilise SDL et OpenGL similaires à ceux de SimCity 3000 et nécessite donc une carte graphique 3D.
Lincity-ng 1.2 (février 2007) est entièrement traduit en français.
La dernière version stable est la 2.0, sortie le 25 janvier 2009.
