A courier sim with no fail state. Roads are a flow field, traffic is emergent, and the only pressure is a package going cold.

How it works

Pathfinding is A* over a grid packed into a single Int16Array. The city regenerates from a seed, so a good map can be shared as six characters.

Notes

Gamepad and keyboard both work. No mouse required.

Changelog

  • v1.4 — Gamepad support and seed sharing.
  • v1.2 — Traffic rewritten as a flow field.
  • v1.0 — First release.
