County Planner
From TedTycoon.co.uk
County Planner was an attempt to write my own isometric construction game similar to tycoon games such as Transport Tycoon, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sim City 3000. It was written in C++ at the beginning of 2008. The game uses SDL for drawing but the code and functions to draw lines, colours and images to the surfaces was written by me in C++ and inline assembler for maximum efficiency and speed. It wasn't long until it was abandoned due to the long time it would to take to write and the difficulties I had trying to create an isometric tile engine.
Idea
The idea of County Planner is to create a free simulation of building a county or state by having an isometric map with towns dotted around. The player would then build roads and railways to join up towns as well as building housing estates, shops and industries. The player must also build hospitals, schools, fire stations, police stations etc. around the county to make sure the map has coverage of all of these things. Power lines, water pipes, motorways can also be built.
Features
- The game consisted of a window system like Rollercoaster Tycoon where you could have multiple windows open which showed you information about a certain thing such as a town. There would normally always be tabs down the left hand side for the player to select different things to look at on the window as well as being able to resize and drag it.
