[Announce] Lincity-ng (city building simulator) on extras-devel
 
3 Attachment(s)
Lincity-NG on extras-devel. It contains game+data (40MB downloading, optified)

LinCity-NG is a city simulation 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.

http://lincity-ng.berlios.de/

When game starts, it loads almost 10 seconds with black screen, just wait. Generating statistics take also time.

Maemo Specific changes:
*Try (even) harder to use 800x480 resolution: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?fu...&group_id=2929
*Do not save config on exit (crashes): http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?fu...&group_id=2929
*built without opengl (SDL only): http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?fu...&group_id=2929
*StatisticWindow shrinked: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?fu...&group_id=2929

(It is not so unresponsible as it looks like, I had difficulties recording and playing at a same time.)


There might be some keyboard shortcuts not accessible, keep reporting them.

[EDIT]
Added screenshots.

That's great!
Aapo, could you please SSH into your N900 while a scenario is running in Lincity-ng and monitor the CPU usage with top? I'm particularly interested in the figures for Lincity-ng itself, Xorg and pulseaudio.
Also is your N900 overclocked?

Edit:
@AnasSyria:
Here [1] you'll find lots of screenshots of Lincity-ng.

Most of the time lincity is between 60..70 %CPU. Not overclocked device.
Code:

%MEM  %CPU
43.0 66.7 /opt/lincity/games/lincity-ng -f -s -S 800x480
1.2  11.3 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --high-priority
5.0  2.3 /usr/bin/Xorg -logfile /tmp/Xorg.0.log -logverbose 1 -nolisten tcp -noreset -s 0 -core

The game seems to crash for languanges except en_US.

Normally my LANG is set to de_DE. With this settings the game crashes every time.

If i set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8 then the game starts.

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8

crash confirmed - strace output attached

Edit:
The gz is an output of calling lincity-ng with: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8

A diff between both reveals that the problem must be somewhere in these three lines:
Code:

lstat64("/home/user/.lincity-ng/locale/de.po", 0xbe9800a0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
lstat64("/opt/lincity//share/games/lincity-ng/locale/de.po", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=35962, ...}) = 0
open("/opt/lincity//share/games/lincity-ng/locale/de.po", O_RDONLY) = 3

I really like a game like this.
But silly question, anyone mind to port it to Harmattan? :)
