| # isometric-park-fna | ||||
| As the director of a small state park, your job is to balance conservation, leisure, and fiscal sustainability. At the moment, there's minimal gameplay. | ||||
| r308 | This is inspired by Maxis' Sim series of games, particularly SimSafari, and Chris Sawyer's Tycoon games. Its Premise more closely resembles SimPark, but I never played it except for a demo. (Alternatively, watch [1990's Sim Games. SO GOOD!]()) | |||

| ## Controls ## | ||||
| Use the arrow keys or move the mouse to the edges to scroll around on the map. The plus and minus keys zoom in and out. 0 toggles pause. F opens the Forest Policy. B opens the budget. | ||||
| ## Overlap with past work ## | ||||
| r308 | This game is a total rewrite of the original version in C#. I honestly like the original language and library more (Clojure and Quil), but Quil was starting to struggle with the amount of drawing, and I was hitting the limit of my optimization abilities and available information online. (Another drawback: I'm also giving up the browser version, unless people get XNA in the browser working.) | |||

| r287 | ## Installing and Running ## | |||
| * macOS users need to do an [extra step](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/11.0/mac/11.0) the first time because the app is unsigned. | ||||
| * Windows and Linux users should be able to double-click the EXE and run it. | ||||
| * BSD users can try using [fbsd-fnaify](https://github.com/oshogbo/fbsd-fnaify), although I have yet to confirm it works with Isometric Park. (If you do try it, let me know!) | ||||
| r118 | ## Developing ## | |||
| To run from the command line, `make run`. | ||||
| You can build and run the project using VSCode actions. | ||||

| r308 | Watching Thin Matrix's [video devlogs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90CZ7Q17sls&list=PLRIWtICgwaX1gcSZ8qj8Q473tz7PsNmpR) for Equilinox inspired me to press on. :) Despite some similarities, the design of this game wasn't really inspired by Equilinox. (I've also enjoyed Thoughtquake's [video devlogs](https://www.youtube.com/user/Thoughtquake/videos) for Cargo Defense and Cliff Harris's Democracy 4 [video devlogs](https://www.youtube.com/user/cliffski2/videos)) | |||
