Tower (again)

Monday 26 February 2007 at 10:52 pm XTower is the name as used by an ATC program for X-Plane. I should know, I'm a great fan of X-Plane. Strange that I didn't. No, that wasn't why I picked the name, but it's why the name's going to have to change.

I originally was going to name it just "Tower", but that was SimTower's name when it was released in Japan. So I stuck an X on the front, to signifiy OS X (the original plan was to have an OS X simtower clone, of course forgetting that I coded against SDL and hence it'll run on other platforms...)

Going logically on, YTower doesn't sound right... so zTower?

There I go again, applying logic to non-logical things :)

Speaking of the project, there's now actually a way of losing - if you build too much floor and not enough offices, maintenance costs take hold :)

On a related note, I have a newfound respect for whoever was involved in the development of SimTower. Now that I'm trying to figure out the same issues, I realise how hard it is...

I do hope zTower turns out interesting though, with all the unique features...
