# Open Source Micropolis, based on the original SimCity Classic from Maxis, by Will Wright. #

This is the source code for Micropolis (based on [SimCity](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity_(1989_video_game))), released under the GPL. Micropolis is based on the original SimCity from Electronic Arts / Maxis, and designed and written by Will Wright.

# NOTE: Please See: [MicropolisCore](https://github.com/SimHacker/MicropolisCore)

This "micropolis" repo is mainly for historical purpose, and it's probably better to use the newer [MicropolisCore](https://github.com/SimHacker/MicropolisCore) repo for development. 

I rebooted micropolis into the fresh new [MicropolisCore](https://github.com/SimHacker/MicropolisCore) repo, without all the old X11/TCL/Tk stuff.

[MicropolisCore](https://github.com/SimHacker/MicropolisCore) is a C++ rewrite/refactor/cleanup of the original C code into a simulation engine that's independent of the user interface. 

The full lineage of the code is C64 => Mac => SunOS/NeWS/HyperLook => Unix/X11/TCL/Tk + multiplayer => Linux/X11/TCL/Tk + multiplayer => OLPC/X11/TCL/Tk (single player) => C++ MicropolisCore => C++/SWIG/Python/PyGTK => C++/SWIG/Python/TurboGears/AMF/Flash/OpenLaszlo => C++/Emscripten/Embind/TypeScript/SvelteKit.

Now it compiles with emscripten/embind into WASM, and it's possible to run it "headless" in node, or with any kind of user interface in the browser.

So if you're making something new, you should use [MicropolisCore](https://github.com/SimHacker/MicropolisCore), but if you're into retrocomputing and want to renovate the TCL version, or even the old PyGTK or Python/TurboGears/AMF/Flash/OpenLaszlo version, then this repo's got what you need!
