SimCity Source Code Is Now Open
Posted on Jan 12, 2008 under Main |Tolkien writes “Source code for SimCity has been released under the GPLv3. For legal reasons the open source version was renamed Micropolis, which was apparently the original working title. The OLPC will also be getting a SimCity branded version that has been QA’ed by Electronic Arts. Some very cool changes have been made by Don Hopkins, who updated and ported what is now Micropolis. (Here is an earlier Slashdot discussion kicked off by a submission Don made.) Among other things, it has been revamped from the original C to using C++ with Python. Here is the page linking all the various source code versions. Happy hacking!” [+] games, programming, fund, quicktelllincity, slashdotted (tagging beta)
[+] Games: One SimCity Per Child 253 comments SimHacker writes “Electronic Arts has donated the original ‘classic’ version of Will Wright’s popular SimCity game to the One Laptop Per Child project. SimCity is the epitome of constructionist educational games, and has been widely used by educators to unlock and speed-up the transformational skills associated with creative thinking. It’s also been used in the Future City Competition by seventh- and eighth-grade students to foster engineering skills and inspire students to explore futuristic concepts and careers in engineering. OLPC SimCity is based on the X11 TCL/Tk version of SimCity for Unix developed and adapted to the OLPC by Don Hopkins, and the GPL open source code will soon be released under the name “Micropolis”, which was SimCity’s original working title. SJ Klein, director of content for the OLPC, called on game developers to create ‘frameworks and scripting environments — tools with which children themselves could create their own content.’ The long term agenda of the OLPC SimCity project is to convert SimCity into a scriptable Python module, integrate it with the OLPC’s Sugar user interface and Cairo rendering library. Eventually they hope to apply Seymour Papert’s and Alan Kay’s ideas about constructionist education and teaching kids to program.” Firehose:The source code to SimCity is now open! by Tolkien (664315)
