About
SimCity 2000 is a 1993 city-building simulation developed by Will Wright and Fred Haslam of Maxis, the successor to SimCity Classic. OpenSC2K is an open-source SimCity 2000 remake written in JavaScript using WebGL and Phaser 3, running in the browser. Only the framework for importing and viewing cities exists — the simulation itself is unimplemented — and a large refactor left much existing functionality broken; development has halted.
How it differs from the original
The author planned additions beyond the original, including larger maps, more network types, buildings beyond the original tileset limits, and action history with replays. No original code or assets are included.
Getting started
Install and start it with yarn or npm, then open it at localhost in a browser. It needs two files from the Windows 95 Special Edition of SimCity 2000 placed in its import folder; the camera is moved with WASD and zoomed with Q and E.
Known limitations
- gameplay: Considerable portions have been refactored; many existing features are currently broken.

Additional notes
- Limitation
- A bundled test city loads by default; loading a different city currently requires editing the source.
