## What it is
IsoCity is an open-source isometric city-building simulation game built with Next.js, TypeScript, and HTML5 Canvas, featuring traffic, pedestrian, and economy simulation. It also includes IsoCoaster, a theme park builder with roller coasters and rides.

## Use cases
- play a free open-source city building game in the browser
- build and simulate a city with traffic and pedestrians
- create a theme park with roller coasters
- study an isometric canvas rendering engine implementation
- self-host a browser-based simulation game

## When to choose
- you want an open-source SimCity-style game that runs in a browser
- you need a reference implementation of isometric rendering and depth sorting in pure Canvas
- you want a mobile-friendly city builder with save/load support

## When to avoid
- you need AAA-quality 3D graphics or a native desktop game
- you want a game engine framework for building your own games rather than a finished game
- you require multiplayer or mod support
