''Simutrans'' is a cross-platform simulation game in which the player strives to run a successful transport system by constructing and managing transportation systems for passengers, mail and goods by land (rail, road, tram, monorail, maglev), air (airplanes) and water (ship) between places. Like ''OpenTTD'', ''Simutrans'' is an open source transportation game based on the ''Transport Tycoon'' idea. ''Simutrans'' was originally written by Hansjörg Malthaner but it is now maintained and developed by a development team and an international community of volunteers. ''Simutrans'' is officially available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, BeOS, Intel & PPC Mac OS X and AmigaOS 4.x under the Artistic License which was adopted in 2007. Prior to that, ''Simutrans'' was a closed source game and was developed internally. Nightly builds for ''Simutrans'' and the main PakSets are also released. Currently the stable release of ''Simutrans'' is version 120.1.1 as of November 4, 2015. There is a popular branch of the code called experimental, which aims to extend the basic game.〔(Simutrans Experimental )〕 ==Overview and features== The main goal in ''Simutrans'' is to provide an efficient transport system for passengers, mail and goods to be transported to their desired destinations fast and with minimal transfers and at the same time making the company grow avoiding bankruptcy or administration. ''Simutrans'' has a number of factory chains that are interconnected with other chains, for example, a coal mine produces coal for a coal power plant, and an oil rig produces oil for an oil power plant. The goods produced by these factories may be distributed to smaller factories or shops, such as gasoline to a gas station, coming from a gas storage facility, which retrieves the gas from an oil refinery, and so on. Supplying a factory with electric power will increase the production and allows for fine-tuning the economy. Passengers and mail are transported between different cities and tourist attractions, and may use several methods of transportation to reach their destinations. The ''Simutrans'' executable can run many different paksets, which is a package containing files called paks. Paks are files with graphic and data files that Simutrans uses to determine the objects in the game, it determines things like their resolution, appearance and behaviors. Gaming experience is therefore very dependent on the PakSet used. ''Simutrans'' currently features 12 AI players, and has an online capability similar to ''OpenTTD'' since version 110.0. The terrain in ''Simutrans'' is freely-modifiable, and different layers like tunnels and bridges can be stacked, allowing for subways or highways to be possible. It has a day and night cycle, different climates and seasons. Nearly all modes of transportation exist in ''Simutrans''. At least buses/trucks, trains, and ships are always provided. If defined in the PakSet, aircraft, monorails and/or maglevs can also be used. ''Simutrans'' is multilingual and is compiled for Microsoft Windows, Linux, BeOS/Haiku, Mac OS X and AmigaOS 4.x which make use of several graphics libraries such as GDI (Windows only), SDL (all versions) or Allegro (BeOS only). It is portable to any architecture using GCC and one of the aforementioned libraries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simutrans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
