SIM CITY
IN AUSTRALIAN STORES : MARCH 7 2013
Sim City, that game we have played once upon a time. The only game the high school computers had installed is back. Originally released on October 3, 1989, Maxis has released many Sim City versions throughout the years.
But it must be said, none bigger than the one that is coming in 2013.
This City Building / Urban Planning simulation is currently in development by Maxis and utilises a new simulation engine called GlassBox, which takes a different approach from previous simulation games. Those games first simulated high-level statistics and then created graphic animations to represent that data. The GlassBox Engine replaces those statistics with agents, simulation units that represent objects like coal, power, and workers; each graphic animation is directly linked to an agent's activity.
For example, rather than simply displaying a traffic jam animation to represent a simulated traffic flow issue, traffic jams are instead produced dynamically by masses of Sim agents that actually travel to and from work.
