Skyscraper (software)
Skyscraper Simulator (formerly Skyscraper Project), also known as Skyscrapersim, Skyscraper 3D, or simply Skyscraper First released on 27 December 2002, development continued until its discontinuation with Ryan Thoryk. After development of the simulator was discontinued, an unofficial subreddit and an unofficial forum were created for user projects. There's also an unofficial site and simulated a single hard-coded building (an early design of the Triton Center, the program's flagship building). The first release of Skyscraper was released on December 27, 2002. A 1.0 stable release was released in mid-2004, followed by a gradual complete redesign and rewrite in using the Crystal Space graphics engine with wxWidgets for the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) control panel. The first release of the rewritten simulator (version 1.1, released as 2.0 Alpha 1), which supported scriptable buildings, was released on January 6, 2009. During the development of the Alpha 8 release, the simulator was ported over to the OGRE rendering engine, and the Crystal Space version was discontinued. Skyscraper's latest stable release, version 1.10 (released as "2.0 Alpha 10") was released on December 19, 2016, and is the third major stable release to use the OGRE graphics engine (1 was alpha 8 and 2 was alpha 9). The last version to use the Crystal Space engine was the 19 September 2012 build.
