  • Will Wright: the Mayor of Simcity
    Will Wright: The Mayor of SimCity The innovative computer game SimCity has been overhauled. Now it's called SimCity 2000. By Kevin Kelly Wired: I gather that many fans of SimCity are fanatical players who know more about its population of sims than you, its designer, do. Wright: Yeah, a lot of people like the control aspect. To them it's sort of "I'm a god, you're my sim, obey me." But the sims don't obey. That's what makes it fun. If they obeyed you, what fun would that be? You're trying to keep this city together, but it keeps falling apart. That's what makes most really good games fun: When you have a certain amount of control, but then there's a certain amount of entropy in the system, and it's balanced just right between the two. It's life at the edge of chaos. Shit happens. Wired: Does your new version, SimCity 2000, have that on­the­edge quality as well? Wright: I sure hope so. But of course I don't have a variable in there called "the chaos variable." So, to tune it I have to engineer a lot of little low­level variables to try and get the emergent behavior that will give me that edge of chaos to keep it from getting boring. Wired: Why go through all the trouble of another version? What's new in SimCity 2000 besides cooler visuals? Wright: In the old SimCity, you started with all the technology at once, but in this one you have to wait for things to become invented.

  • The Politics of City Planning Simulations
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 384 539 SO 024 707 AUTHOR Kolson, Kenneth TITLE The Politics of City Planning Simulations. PUB DATE Sep 94 NOTE 22p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association (New York, NY, September 1-4, 1994). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *City Government; *Community Planning; *Computer Simulation; Educational Games; Human Geography; Land Use; *Simulated Environment; Teaching Methods; *Urban Areas; Urban Environment; Urbanization; *Urban Planning; Urban Studies IDENTIFIERS *SimCity ABSTRACT This research paper presents an analysis of the computer simulation, SimCity, used for an urban city planning class. The data were gathered by actual use of the simulation and an electronic mail network was employed to secure impressions from users of the simulation. SimCity (developed by Maxis) provides t .e player with rules of human factors, economic factors, survival factors, and political factors that are both opportunities and constraints to the master planner. In addition, there are numerous maps to monitor land use patterns, zoning, demography, pollution, and other factors as the simulation progresses. The simulation also allows the user to manipulate tax rates and funding levels for the city. The point of the simulation is to duplicate the real world of urban politics with the instantaneous ability of the computer. The attraction of SimCity is the resemblance to the real-life choices that city planners must

  • The History of Educational Computer Games
    Beyond Edutainment Exploring the Educational Potential of Computer Games By Simon Egenfeldt-nielsen Submitted to the IT-University of Copenhagen as partial fulfilment of the requirements for the PhD degree February, 2005 Candidate: Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen Købmagergade 11A, 4. floor 1150 Copenhagen +45 40107969 [email protected] Supervisors: Anker Helms Jørgensen and Carsten Jessen Abstract Computer games have attracted much attention over the years, mostly attention of the less flattering kind. This has been true for computer games focused on entertainment, but also for what for years seemed a sure winner, edutainment. This dissertation aims to be a modest contribution to understanding educational use of computer games by building a framework that goes beyond edutainment. A framework that goes beyond the limitations of edutainment, not relying on a narrow perception of computer games in education. The first part of the dissertation outlines the background for building an inclusive and solid framework for educational use of computer games. Such a foundation includes a variety of quite different perspectives for example educational media and non-electronic games. It is concluded that educational use of computer games remains strongly influenced by educational media leading to the domination of edutainment. The second part takes up the challenges posed in part 1 looking to especially educational theory and computer games research to present alternatives. By drawing on previous research three generations of educational computer games are identified. The first generation is edutainment that perceives the use of computer games as a direct way to change behaviours through repeated action. The second generation puts the spotlight on the relation between computer game and player.

    Playing With People’s Lives 1 Playing With People’s Lives How city-builder games portray the public and their role in the decision-making process Senior Honors Thesis, City & Regional Planning Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in City and Regional Planning in the Knowlton School of Architecture at the Ohio State University By William Plumley The Ohio State University May 2018 Faculty Research Mentor: Professor Tijs van Maasakkers, City and Regional Planning Playing With People’s Lives 2 Abstract – City-builder computer games are an integral part of the city planning profession. Educators structure lessons around playtime to introduce planning concepts, professionals use the games as tools of visualization and public outreach, and the software of planners and decision-makers often takes inspiration from the genre. For the public, city-builders are a source of insight into what planners do, and the digital city’s residents show players what role they play in the urban decision-making process. However, criticisms persist through decades of literature from professionals and educators alike but are rarely explored in depth. Published research also ignores the genre’s diverse offerings in favor of focusing on the bestseller of the moment. This project explores how the public is presented in city-builder games, as individuals and as groups, the role the city plays in their lives, and their ability to express their opinions and participate in the process of planning and governance. To more-broadly evaluate the genre as it exists today, two industry-leading titles receiving the greatest attention by planners, SimCity and Cities: Skylines, were matched up with two less-conventional games with their own unique takes on the genre, Tropico 5 and Urban Empire.

    Simulosophy Group Report Asilomar Conversation, Nov. 13 - 18, 1994 Sixth International Conference on the Design of Social Systems Group Members: Ted Frick, Paul Hood, Kayla Kirsch, Charles Reigeluth and Andy Walcott, with contributions from Hilary Farris Musical Overview Kayla nicely summarized the week's conversation in the form of a song, to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. BRING FORTH SIMULOSOPHY Before we were each tiny islands Thinking simthoughts privately But this week we have harnessed our passion On a thing called sim-u-los-ophy. To simulate it you must know it, So we spent a good deal of our days Sim-ing the whole darn ed. system, And believe us, that was quite a maze. Chorus: Briiing forth, briiing forth, Bring forth SIMU-LOSSS-OPHY, SO-PHY, Briiing forth, briiing forth, Bring forth SIMU-LOSSS-OPHY. We looked at the SIGG's systems model We examined a whole set of rules, We imagined a CAD SimEd software, Full of system designer tools. Asilomar 1994, Simulosophy Group Report – 2 But we need a new language with symbols To see human systems on screen We're entrenched in industrial models That won't help us with all that's unseen. (Chorus) Then we freed our tired brains for a brainstorm And we made some sketches and schemes Closer and closer we're getting To simulate our systems dreams. So we hope you are now simulated From singing that simulant song Thanks for your care and attention And now we will simu-a-long. (Chorus) You won't find 'simulosophy' in the dictionary.

  • WILL WRIGHT Creator of the Sims & Spore
    WILL WRIGHT Creator of The Sims & Spore Twenty years ago, a video game that you could neither win nor lose was inconceivable-unless you were Will Wright. With five years of college under his belt and no degree, twenty-something year old Will had the idea of creating a game based on designing and building cities. In achieving that goal, Will created a new genre in gaming and within it, one of the best-loved game franchises in history establishing Will Wright as a visionary within the world of video game design. The idea for SimCity struck as will was designing his first game, Raid on Bungeling Bay (1984) a game in which helicopters attacked islands. Realizing he preferred building islands to piloting attack 'copters, Will partnered with "idea guy" Jeff Braun to create a company known as Maxis and they released SimCity in 1989. With SimCity the mass market got its first real taste of a simulation game, and they were hooked! The word-of-mouth acclaim swirling around SimCity ultimately attracted the attention of Newsweek, and a full page story on the game cemented SimCity's place in entertainment history. An entirely new kind of video game genre, focused around open-ended, non-violent gameplay was born! Maxis followed up the surprising success of SimCity with a string of popular simulation games throughout the 1990s. Titles such as SimEarth: The Living Planet (1990), SimAnt: The Electronic Ant Colony (1991), SimCity 2000 (1993), SimCopter (1996), and SimCity 3000 (1999) introduced simulation games to hundreds of thousands of new fans, demonstrating the genre's true potential.
