 # isometric-park-fna
 
 
 As the director of a small state park, your job is to balance conservation, leisure, and fiscal sustainability. Gameplay is still being added.
 
-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!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APFnM6DqtiA))

+## System Requirements ##

+The requirements are pretty modest. It runs pretty well on a 2010 MacBook Pro. Here's my estimated minimum:
+
+* ~2 Ghz Core 2 Duo
+* 2 GB of memory
+* Nvidia GeForce 200 series
+
+If you have a more typical machine with, say, 8 GB of memory, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX, and an i5, you should have no trouble running the game.
 
 ## Relationship to past work ##
 
-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.)

 * 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!)
