OpenSC2K - An Open Source remake of Sim City 2000 by Maxis

OpenSC2K

OpenSC2K - An Open Source remake of SimCity 2000 written in TypeScript, using Electron, WebGL Canvas and Phaser 3.

Overview

After a pretty long break, I've decided to rewrite the codebase in TypeScript. This project is not currently in a usable state as only the basic components have been re-written. I've also decided to return to Electron as a host versus a web app due a few reasons (the need for loading multiple assets that can't be distributed from the filesystem being a large part of that). Eventually I may try and do a web-only port, but I'd rather deal with the headache of loading assets via the web at a later time.
