It could use a bit better of an explanation. It took me 2 full tries before I understood what I was supposed to do.

My first attempt, I thought "shutter" just meant to start it. After I hit the spacebar everything started, and I was just counting myself thinking I would type in the number at the end.

My second attempt, I tried pressing the space bar like I was taking pictures, so instead of hitting space on every one, I was waiting until there were a few new ones on them on screen at the same time.

What I think would be more intuitive would be something like a number clicker counter being shown on the bottom right corner. Every time the player presses the space bar, it's clicked once with a click sound effect and the player sees the number increment. I think something that small would make the minigame very intuitive.

As for the game itself, where will it lie in the balance between reflexes and simulation on a scale of 1 being Diner Dash and 10 being Restaurant Empire? What will the player spend most of the time doing while playing the game?

This would be an instant purchase for me if it was heavily based on the concepts of New Urbanism. That's really what I've been looking for in a city building sim, a game which understands and rewards the design principles most modern urban planners actually use in the real world.

I'd love a game which really allows you to get down to the street level and design cities based on pedestrian usage. I want to be able to tinker with things like sidewalk width, street trees, building height restrictions... all the little details, and see the effects of changing them. On a larger level, I'd like to be rewarded economically and environmentally for creating lovely urban neighborhoods that people would enjoy living in, on a street-by-street basis. And I'd like a game which models the long-term consequences of automobile culture as well--allow you to design those kinds of cities (Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix) but show the consequences of suburban sprawl in unhappiness, pollution, and economic problems.

Most city building sims play at too large of a scale for my taste, and often ignore what modern urban designers understand about what's important in real cities. Sim City especially has often been very guilty of this--encouraging heavily separated uses, with big zones of commercial, industrial, residential rather than the all-important "mixed-use neighborhood" where everything your citizens need is in walking distance of where they live.

A couple of books I'd recommend you read if you're interested in learning more about urban design as you develop this game:

Looks cool, I'll check it out this weekend when I get a WP7 phone. I don't suppose your inspiration was the fictional game of Celest from Vernor Vinge's The Peace War? Looks similar:

>"Tellman initialized the Celest board--to level nine, Rosas noticed. The kid studied the setup with a calculating look. Tellman's display was a flat one, showing a hypothetical solar system as seen from above the plane of rotation. The three planets were small disks of light moving around the primary. Their size gave a clue to mass; the precise values appeared near the bottom of the display. Departure and arrival planets moved in visibly eccentric orbits, the departure planet at one rev every five seconds--fast enough so precession was clearly occurring. Between it and the destination planet moved a third world, also in an eccentric orbit. Rosas grimaced. No doubt the only reason Tellman left the problem coplanar was that he didn't have a holo display for his Celest. Mike had never seen anyone without a symbiotic processor play the departure/destination version of Celest at level nine. The timer on the display showed that the player--the kid--had ten seconds to launch his rocket and try to make it to the destination. From the fuel display, Rosas was certain that there was not enough energy available to make the flight in a direct orbit. A cushion shot on top of everything else!"

The guy that wrote this paper also wrote a book: Fluid Simulation for Computer Graphics. Which was quite usefull. I also used additional books about PDEs and linear algebra.

I didn't use a code example. I think with stuff like this the hard part is to understand the math well and then the programming is not that difficult.

I haven't looked at the paper for a long time, but I don't think it describes the projection step in detail. But it is described in the book for a similar method.

Hello, I had released my 3rd game, "Stickman RPG", it's a simple clicker, at our side, weapon is moving (16 to unlock), we need to tap button in a good time to defend yourself (tap mechanic). Expect it, we got idle gain, a lot of upgrades, level system (we gain skill points, we can raise: attack, defense, critical attack, block chance). We buy new equipment + we fight on area (battle is automatic, simple), and many other things. It's my 3rd game, I'm 19, i threat gamedev as a hobby, game don't got IAP, got ads. "Stickman RPG" got cloud save (android), local save + Text Save. I would like to sorry for all troubles with my last game.
