A cities: skylines városépítő szimulációs játék

Abstract

Simulation games have been used for educational and learning purposes for a long time. The use of games or game-like elements is called gamification. Published games become better and better; they help people acquire, develop or improve certain knowledge and abilities. Cities: Skylines city-building game published in 2015 provides simulation opportunities in many areas of urban planning. The game is very strong at modelling the behaviour and movement of citizens and modelling transportation or urban public services. Cities: Skylines has an education edition that allows students under the tutor’s supervision to analyse and solve problems encountered when managing a city. Although the game simplifies reality, it is still capable of giving an insight into the design and management of a city.
