I'd suggest an OpenTTD-like demonstration of a big city, but I don't think the project has smooth enough animations for this to look good. Excuse me if I'm interrupting, but, talking about the UI, I have a few suggestions as well: 1. Limit decreasing zoom values to factors of 2 (12,5%, 25%, 50%, 100%), as the other ones look really bad due to lack of antialiasing. 2. Probably switch from 8 fixed save files with predefined names to a more flexible format, like what original Lincity did. Maybe add a preview to the right, that would show the city and its parameters (year, population, tech level, money) in a separate place -- see this bad ASCII mockup for an example: +----------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Load a city: | | | |[1.
