TODO - Core gameplay

  • parking vs bus tutorial level

    • big vertical road. some neighborhoods off to the side. everyone trying to go nrth or south. one driving, one parkign lane. a bus that makes a loop. some horizontal roads connected to borders that force the vertical road to not be fast. just make a dedicated bus lane! oops,except some of the bus stops are at narrow places, so traffic has to slow down anyway for the bus. maybe there's a bypass road through a neighborhood?
  • introduce elements gradually... fix a silly traffic signal with just cars, then add peds and bikes...

  • Example use cases

    • maybe dont need simulation at all to play with these
      • just a smooth editing and diffing UI
    • montlake/520 turn restrictions with pedestrian scramble
    • close interior neighborhoods to most cars (except for src/dst), see how traffic restricted to arterials would work
      • puzzle: with only X miles of retained road, where would you leave them? what roads would go away?
    • create a bike network with minimal hills, dedicated roads, minimal crossings
  • easter eggs

    • name agents, with some good names scattered in (Dustin Carlino, Dustin Bikelino, Dustin Buslino...)

More things to simulate

  • Light rail and downtown bus tunnel
  • more accurate pedestrian speed, and randomized speeds
  • seed parked cars in neighborhood with no owner or a far-away owner, to model reasonable starting state
  • outgoing border nodes can throttle to simulate traffic downstream

Small bugs / tests to add

  • do bikes use bike lanes?
  • test that peds will use buses organically
    • make sure that we can jump to a ped on a bus and see the bus
