Urban Planning Simulation Using “SimCity (2013)®” Game
This chapter describes the vital components of the simulation computer game SimCity (2013) ® . These components are the basis for understanding the simulation mechanism of SimCity ® and the productive application of its visualization for sophisticated investigation. In SimCity (2013) ® , a player assumes the responsibility of mayor of the city. The central aspect of the game is construction and zoning, which comprise a wide range of responsibilities. The player works with the main menu bar across the lower end of the interface. This menu bar contains several buttons corresponding to different features and options. Each option is represented by a symbol that, when clicked, provides features in its particular category. When playing the game, icons will remain dark blue in case all services and systems in the city are operationally functional. After describing the game sections, the chapter concludes with insights regarding the limitations/opportunities of SimCity (2013) ® .
