The more people visit, the bigger the city gets...

I heard that Cody went on vacation.. Now we know where he went!!

Looks fun!

Yay!

*plans to start a cake factory there*

One problem: when I try to create a city, I can't find my country! It's not like it's particularly obscure....

Security Code = Turn of ad blocker is how I had to see it. Now as mouser said he found Cody on that page I think I also did. Here's a image for you to decide...

hahahaha.

back to this site..

this site is a bit boring.. i wonder if there is a similar site where people can actually stake out a location and place a little house where they want, etc.. anybody know of one?

i'm not saying i want a full involved rpg game or simcity, just something where you can "do" a little more in terms of establishing a presence.

Only one I can think of would be SecondLife, and to buy an island for Cody would require real cash for land & monthly use fees.

I think it costs $4.95 a month to have your own city but free if you dont want your own.

could you like start a cody revolution

Edvard · « **Reply #11 on:** December 18, 2007, 05:08 PM »

w00t!
Population 42 and 0% unemployment!!

Deozaan · « **Reply #12 on:** December 18, 2007, 05:17 PM »

It would be cool to have a snapshot each day the population changed, just so we could see the growth of the city.

Edvard · « **Reply #13 on:** December 20, 2007, 01:01 PM »

back to this site..

this site is a bit boring..

Mouser, I agree. It really isn't much more than a glorified hit counter.
Although some of the cities set up by really busy sites are insane...

I'll keep looking for similar sites, as the premise is nice.

Deozaan · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2008, 06:22 PM »

We can now increase industry and transportation instead of just increasing population. But you can only do one per day so choose wisely.

Increase Population

Improve Industry

Improve Transportation

I have an idea, let me post it and see if anyone is interested..
What about a mod for Smf Forums, DC forum in particular,
which generated a kind of view like this city thing, EXCEPT:
the forum user name is the name of the building
the size of the building = # of posts
geographic location = either geographic location as configured in signup OR alternatively, maybe draw the city as if you are drawing concentric circles, where user #1 is at center, and then the circle goes farther from the city center as member id#s increase. OR you could use the same concentric circle idea except use # of posts to determine how close to center of city they are.
you could include only people with more than a few posts to keep it from getting too busy.

Anyone want to try to make it?
you could ignore the SMF mod aspect of it for now -- just make a general purpose php (or whatever) pretty city generation service, and worry about querying a list of users,userid#,postcount values later.

I'm actually really fond of these two (related) ideas:

1. Tiny Crawl World

2. Tiny World:
Part 1: Tiny World Cities
Part 2: Tiny World Commander
Part 3: Tiny World Encounters

Lots of other great ideas on that site: Three Hundred

Thanks to Tinjaw for mentioning the site in another thread.

Someone has made a homebrew application for Nintendo DS that allows you to make your daily action for MyMiniCity or Miniville (French version) websites.

Click to visit homepage.

Hey, it's been awhile since I looked this up again, but apparently Cody-city has fallen to 7% unemployment.

Build some industry folks!

On a further note, I haven't found any sites or apps that do anything similar, but in a more interesting fashion.
It's been about a year, has anything came up?

There's myMiniLife- my wife was playing that intensively until I bought ~~SimCity~~ The Sims 2 for her...

Smokes!! Now we've got crime at 4%...

Increase Security!

-Edvard (March 25, 2009, 12:58 PM)

You posted the wrong link to increase security. Your link just increases population, which isn't helping our unemployment rate, either.

Edvard · « **Reply #22 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:58 PM »

Oops... Fixed.

An inhabitant has left Cody City to look for a job.

So THAT'S why our crime rate is down to 1%!

at what point does a 50ft fire breathing cody trample into the city center and destroy everything?

As soon as you PROGRAM YOUR SMURFING GAME TO DO THAT!
