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.
