Micropolis is a simulation game based on the original source code of
|
|
SimCity, donated to the One Laptop Per Child project by Electronic
|
|
Arts under the GPL v3. Micropolis is developed by Don Hopkins, one of
|
|
the game's original authors.
|
|
|
|
NOTES: This SlackBuild is for a git snapshot dated 2010-04-18 obtained
|
|
from: http://git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/micropolis which is
|
|
a community-maintained version with several important patches and
|
|
bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, please note that the first startup screen may be too
|
|
large for monitors with a lower resolution. Unfortunately, this is a
|
|
bug that has not been fixed yet. However, by using ALT-left mouse
|
|
button, one can move the startup screen around enough to see
|
|
everything. Once the game starts, the resolution should scale down
|
|
correctly to fit within your monitor.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the original source for the OLPC version of this game removed
|
|
the airplane crash disaster. This has been added back in to the
|
|
community-maintained version from which this package is built, and
|
|
this SlackBuild enables it by default. If you wish to disable the
|
|
airplane crash disaster, please see the SlackBuild, as there is a line
|
|
that can be commented out to disable it.
