This is incredible - looks like SimCity 2000.
Does it? All the tiles are usually a yellow brown aren’t they? 3000 has green land

When I turn off JS, it shows a loader instead of the terrain. Is this really CSS-Only? I mean it's still a high achievement even with JS, but was expecting it would also work without JS. This one, for example, truly works without JS https://benjaminaster.com/css-minecraft/ .
Build something then hit the Download Code button - that packaged HTML solution doesn't require any javascript to render locally.
Can someone please reimplement something like Warcraft 2 on a mobile web device? It would be a hit, I’m telling you. Even from 1995. Some people are still playing it 30 years later, obsessively. And myth ii by Bungie is a classic too

The colouring is brown for SC2000, but the geometry is basically identical; I definitely got the same energy from it.
Wow this really feels like roller coaster tycoon!!! (I can see lots of people refer to this to their favorite sim game though) Great work!

I'm assuming it's the render engine that is in pure CSS. You could display a static map in CSS but things like the tools to modify the terrain definitely need JS.
Why do you think the renderer is pure css and not e.g. mostly css?

I wanted to check if your assumption is correct but I couldn’t find the source code. Why do you think the renderer is pure css and not e.g. mostly css?

I really miss these building games that used an isometric grid. RC Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Sim City, TTD, … Yes, it's less realistic, but it is so pleasant to work with. Everything you build aligns perfectly and if you want, you can neatly fill the entire map. In comparison, (even with many mods) my Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster creations never look quite right. Building the roads and paths is always awkward and frus…
