Micropolis

This game reminds me of my high school days. I had been playing "Sim City" every day.

Although Micropolis will be ITPed by someone (maybe by Debian Game Team) sooner or later, I packaged it for me. If you can't wait an official package, you can take my package (i386/amd64 version) from here. (Today's population was about 23,000. I almost forgot the techniques.)

[ yeah, Miriam Ruiz just ITPed as #460674. Good luck Miriam, you will have hard tasks :) ]

Game resolution

Do you know if it's possible to change the game resolution? It's too big for my screen (1024x768). I can't see the full game.

Thank you!

Nelson,

Unfortunately current Micropolis seems use fixed width/height.
"grep geometry /usr/share/games/micropolis/res/*" may help you to modify them.

Damn, that was slow.

So, erm, am I the only person for whom this app completely ignores all keyboard or mouse input?
