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.
Note: For best results, follow the instructions included in your version of the source. That is, consult your local version of README.md. Following instructions for a different version than what you are building can cause build failures.
