Installation

Do not install the game at the current time, just run it out of the source directory.
This will be addressed in future releases

What Works (tm)

Terrain Modification (up/down/level)
Zoning (residential/commercial/industrial)
Power sub-system (power transmission along lines)
Routing backbone (for roads, powerlines etc)
Basic housing (need more models - make them in BLENDER and send them to me!!)
Basic toolbox
Basic micro-simulators

What's coming

Many more models for buildings
Better toolbox
More zones (low/hi density)
Amusement stuff (marinas, zoos, ski-resort zone)

Features

        . Crashes on demand
        . OpenGL based graphics
        . Fully 3D (rotateable map etc)

Playing

        Houses/Etc will build if they are < 2 tiles from a road and powered.
        The big blue cube in the middle of the map is a power plant.  You
can't build those at the moment (working on it).
        Have fun...

BUGS - Priority top (high) to bottom (low)

        . Rendering bug.  If a zone tile is behind a slope in the rendering 
          direction, rendering will screw up.  This was a casualty of my new
          rendering design.  Fix coming soon.
        . A Tile is not selected sometimes if it is sloped and the mouse
          pointer is aimed at the top half of it.  Algo needs work
