I just want to say that I really recommend playing and experiment with A/B Street.
Even as just visualization of roads/lanes/crossings it is really nice, gameplay/experimentation is also really interesting. And author is great at responding to reported bugs, submitted pull requests and even feature requests ( https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet ). So if someone liked OpenTTD but wanted more realism/complexity for cars, or if someone wants to check whatever roads are mapped in detail in their city or is interested in experimenting with road design or planned to play with Rust language I really recommend this project :) Nov 2, 2020, 00:55 by [email protected]: > Hi, > > Demo: > http://abstreet.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/osm_demo/ > Connect 2020 talk: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUN5GWfb4Qo > > I've been working on > https://abstreet.org> , a traffic simulation game > built from OSM data, designed for cycling and public transit advocacy.
