About

Micropolis is based on SimCity, the original city-building game from Maxis designed and written by Will Wright. This is the GPL-licensed source code release of Micropolis, the open-source version of the original SimCity. The maintainer now keeps this repository mainly for historical purposes, recommending the newer MicropolisCore repository, a C++ rewrite that separates the simulation from the user interface, for new work. It still contains the older TCL/Tk, PyGTK and Python/Flash versions.

History

The code traces back through a long line of ports: from C64 to Mac, SunOS, Unix and Linux X11 versions with multiplayer, the single-player OLPC version, and later C++, Python and web versions, most recently compiled to WebAssembly.

Licensing & legal

  • The name "Micropolis" is a registered trademark licensed to the project under a separate Micropolis Public Name License.
