00:06Hi, this is Dan Moskowitz. I'm going to walk you through some examples of what our new simulation engine, Glassbox,
00:12can do.
00:13These demonstrations are all about showing off simulation behavior and not graphics.
00:19Here's a coal power plant. It's a simulation unit. It contains resources like coal and workers.
00:25When active, it runs simulation rules that use up coal and create power and air pollution.
00:32Effects and animation are tied directly to simulation rules, so what you see is always a one-to-one representation
00:38of what the simulation is doing.
00:42This fire station is also a simulation unit. You can drop in additional units like garages to extend the functionality
00:48of your buildings.
00:49Maps define a distribution of resources throughout the environment. Forests, water, pollution are all represented as maps.
00:58The terrain is built out of map layers as well. In this example, we see a terrain composed of bedrock,
01:04coal, and soil.
01:05Agents are simulation entities that carry resources from one unit to another.
01:10The most common types of agents in SimCity are pedestrians and vehicles, which travel along player-defined paths.
01:17The simulator is designed to support tens of thousands of agents.
01:21Agents trigger simulation rules when they arrive at their destination, but no rules run during transit.
01:28Agents can also carry other types of resources throughout the city.
01:32They can drop off a portion of power or water at each building and then be re-sent.
01:37Water taken from the water map is repackaged into an agent and sent along pipes.
01:48Zones are defined as an area along a path.
01:51Zones run rules to create new units, in this case, residential construction sites.
01:57Agents, such as construction trucks and moving vans, deliver construction materials and new citizens.
02:03Thanks for the way!

02:08Grazie a tutti.
