Micropolis is developed by Don Hopkins, one of +the game's original authors. + +NOTES: This SlackBuild is for a git snapshot dated 2008-02-22 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. |
