I'm getting better at this! Today it only took me until 2:30 AM to get the update done and recorded ;)

What I did

Decided that Citybound will have both statistical and agent-based simulation

Started with the statistical simulation for planning and demand modeling:

Created a Resource Management System

• Manges resources (duh) for the whole city & individual businesses/households
• Calculates resource demands

Implemented City Dynamics

• Immigration based on Resource Demands

Created a Construction Planner

• Creates buildings if needed
• Distributes households and businesses over existing buildings

Created a Building Type System

• Allows for all kinds of household & business combinations in one building

Added global Simulation Parameters

• Influence the gameplay heavily
• Easy to tweak
• I spent a lot of time finding an initial balance for them

What I will probably do next

• Connect the statistical model to the traffic simulation
• This will result in the agent-based part of the simulation

Until next week!
