After months of trial and error, grinding and chipping away at it, and generally slow but steady work, CitySim is done! That's right, I've released version 1.0 and published it on the OpenStore[2]! Ubuntu Touch users can now download and play my simple city simulation game.

I did make sure to run a beta test for a week before release, but unfortunately, I only recieved input from one beta tester, good or bad. Hopefully the game is scaled properly on the various phones out there, and that it works as it should. I personally could only test it on the desktop, a FairPhone 4, and a Nord N10 5G, but there are so many phone models out there, many with varying screen sizes and pixel density, that I am always concerned about how any of my projects will display on different screens.

Either way, I can only praise God for allowing me to finish it, and I feel that I learned so much from this project. I plan to take what I've learned and use it on the EveryBible project to load and display different Bible versions. There were several parts I was stuck on, and I think CitySim may have shown me the way forward on those code blocks I was stuck on.

Also a shout out to the original creator of the demo/game, zubozrout[3], for creating a framework that could be used for the final product! I know on my own, this project would have never got off the ground, and I want to be sure to credit the original author for thier hard work!

As always, you can check out the completed code on my gitlab[1] if you are interested.

Linux - keep it simple.
