Bug#658573: ITP: lincity -- build & maintain a city/country
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kari Pahula <kaol@debian.org>
* Package name : lincity
Version : 1.13.1
Upstream Author : I J Peters, Greg Sharp, Corey Keasling

Programming Lang: C
Description : build & maintain a city/country
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.
lincity has been in Debian for over a decade and was abandoned and
finally removed a year ago. I prefer the classic lincity over
lincity-ng, so I'm bringing it back. Upstream seems pretty much dead
and I don't expect to do any new development myself, but just fix
bugs, keep it up to standards and in a buildable state.
