They Create Worlds

TCW Podcast Episode 188 - Will Wright's Sim City   We look at the life of game designer Will Wright who developed the hit game Sim City. Wright was, and is a very talented individual with a deep passion for learning. As a child, he was not into video games, and only his interest in robotics led him to investigate computers more. From there he was enamored with the original Flight Simulator and the possibilities it promised. Though it was not until his exposure to Conway's Game of Life that he really took an interest in programming.  This led to his development of Raid on Bungling Bay, and from the tools used to make that game, he found more fun in creating a city simulator he call microtopolis. This simulation game would eventually become what we know as Sim City!   Solaris by Stanisław Lem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(novel) What is Montessori in 18 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljuw3grZ11Q Victor Tugelbend: https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Victor_Tugelbend The Cannonball Run: https://
