The latest and hottest news

  Happy New Year '09 everybody ! Over the last months, we've worked on the design of the game itself. We decided to use more and more libraries and build a little C++ framework that we need to simplify the development process in the future. The new framework is named "Sharp Plus Framework" because it's based on the .NET framework and C++. Currently, we use the Boost library and we rely on the upcoming C++0x language standard. We also use more and more advanced C++ techniques such as template and smart pointers.

  The forum and the wiki have been fixed. The new website has been uploaded at www.opencity.info whereas the old site is still online at opencity.sourceforge.net. Maybe we're going to keep the SourceForge free hosting as a mirror site in the future. By the way, OpenCity-0.0.6 releases are now available for GNU/Linux and Windows. Have fun all !

  Welcome to the new OpenCity web site designed after the famous css Zen Garden. The layout is done by CSS. Due to a recent SourceForge server wide migration, the forum doesn't work anymore. We'll fix it later. Concerning the development of OpenCity, we're now using Code::Blocks to fix few OpenCity issues under Windows. Since it works pretty well, we're planning to use Code::Blocks as a cross platform IDE for futher development.

  HapPi nEw y3aR 2008 ! The windows release candidate version has been validated and the official stable version is now available for the Windows platforms. That's not all, there's also a backported version available in a source tarball format for other systems. Have fun !

  Hey ! The last stable version of OpenCity is out there. It's available in source code tar ball and in binary package format for Mandriva, Suse and Slackware GNU/Linux distribution. Microsoft Windows users still need to wait for few weeks. We're going hard to bring the last version to Microsoft Visual C++.

  Hey wassup ^^ ? I, the main developer of this project, have just moved to a new flat. It's bigger, and I have much more free space but I don't have an ADSL connection yet :) Anyway, the development still goes on because we don't really need an Internet connection to work on the game. Have a look at the lastest screenshot, you'll love it.

  Hi all, we continue to work on the next exciting simulation model. There are few issues that we need to fix as you can see in the new screenshot. Anyway, OpenCity is fun to work with.

  OpenCity homesite now speaks Japanese thanks to the Google translation tool. We know that it's not accurate but we believe that it can help other users to understand what OpenCity is about. You'll need an advanced browser for multilingual support. Concerning the game itself, we are working on a better simulation model.

  Hi there ! We continue our efforts toward the next golden release of OpenCity, the 3D city simulation with a bunch of new features. At the mean time, there's no screenshot available yet. But we promise that we'll give you one the next time we update the site ^^.
