The open-source GPL release of Micropolis, based on the original SimCity Classic city-building simulation game by Will Wright and Maxis. This historical repo preserves the C source with X11/TCL/Tk and other legacy UIs; active development has moved to the MicropolisCore C++ rewrite.
Use cases
- play an open-source SimCity Classic clone
- study the source code of the original SimCity simulation
- retrocompute and renovate the old TCL/Tk or PyGTK versions
- build a city-building simulation game
- port a classic simulation engine to WASM or new UIs
When to choose
- you want the original historical C codebase with X11/TCL/Tk UIs
- you're interested in retrocomputing or renovating legacy versions
- you want to study how the classic SimCity simulator worked
When to avoid
- you want to develop something new - use the MicropolisCore repo instead
- you need a modern, UI-independent simulation engine
- you need a maintained codebase with an active license file
