About Andropolis

Build and run a city. Zone land for homes, shops and industry, connect it with roads,

rail and power, balance the budget, and keep your citizens happy — while fires, floods,

tornadoes and the occasional monster try to spoil your plans.

Andropolis is an open-source Android port of Micropolis , the GPL release of the

original SimCity city simulator by Will Wright. It uses the MicropolisCore engine: the

original simulation code, in C++, unchanged.

Features

The full classic simulation: zones, traffic, pollution, crime, land value, budget, evaluation

The 8 original scenarios (Dullsville, San Francisco, Hamburg, Bern, Tokyo, Detroit, Boston, Rio) and 23 sample cities

New maps with terrain choices: trees, lakes, rivers, islands

Touch controls: drag roads and power lines, place buildings with a preview, per-build undo

Overlays, graphs, messages, the citizens' opinion poll and the annual report

Optional background play: the city keeps going while the app is closed, at a pace you choose, and notifies you when something happens

Saves are plain files you can copy and share

No ads, no tracking, no network access
