SilverStreetSimulator

Silver Street Simulator is a procedurally generated city builder game. It is still in early development.

silverstreetsimulator's Issues

BuildRoadTool and BulldozerTool

• ITool
• RoadBuilderTool
• BulldozerTool
• PaddingTool

Alternative roof generation

I would like to shee Gable, hip and shed roofs but if not all of them exist I don't mind.

Track money

• Buildings provide income
• Placing buildings cost money
• 1x per second, change title to display money

GetRenderArea gives the whole map

For efficiency, this should only give the area to be drawn.

Bug: Mouse cursor

The mouse cursor in 3D is bugged. I need to find a way to fix this.

Initial balance for the desire engine

I want a difficulty curve where the beginning feels easier as the end. Test whether the game difficulty feels reasonable.

Configurable assets folder

• Let logic work with an assets folder variable
• Load the assets folder from some external source.

Load building data from XML file

This improves both the code and more properties can be added to the buildings, more easily.

Textured buildings

• Add a TextureAtlas / AtlasRegion data structure
• Texture the roof
• Texture the walls
• Add windows to the textured walls

Split GameWindow

E.g Stpit GameWindow in StateWindow, IState and CityState and make a state stack. This allows to have a title screen etc.

Not High priority right now, but it should be done at one time.

Sounds

The current feeling can drastically be improved by adding sounds when building an area.

Concave roof generation

Currently only convex roofs are supported

Building spawn over time

Current version:

• Each tick every zone has a chance to change in a building.
• Experiment whether buildings should change when already being build.

Later versions:

• Growth depends on variables. E.g. residential buildings are added when people want to move to the city.
• Restriction on distance to roads etc.

Buildings can be placed within each other

Cause:
When a building is larger than 1x1 it is only placed on the top-left tile.

This means that CityMap.IsFreeArea does not check for the building in certain circumstances.

Tool to place buildings

E.g. Place a residential zone or industrial zone. Streets etc are for later versions.

Zoom and padding should be improved

The sub-issues are:

• Zoom should use the mouse coordinates
• Padding should use the zoom level.
• Resize screen should keep the current zoom level
• Selecting tiles won't work when zoomed.

These issues should be solved simultaneously.

Heighmap-aware building generation

To avoid crossing the terrain with windows/roofs

Initial messages from the desire engine

Messages are necessary to show the user what he is doing right or wrong. I would like to see messages like: "Couldn't find a job." indicating the problems in your city.

Add a desire engine to each zone type.

Implement first draft desire engine

The functions itself, should be designed. E.g. JobsFunc can be defined as:

• -10 at 0%
• -5 at 90%
• 5 at 100% or higher

This should be configurable, for every function. No specific code per type should be added.

Kudos if the functions can easily be visualized.

Alternative ground-shapes

This may improve building generation and will add additional challenges.
