Skyscraper 2 Alpha released

Skyscraper is, as you may have guessed, a Skyscraper building simulator. It’s been around for quite a while now, but the author has just released an Alpha of Version 2.

Here’s a description of Skyscraper from the author:

The goal of the Skyscraper project is to create a fully-featured, modular, 3D realtime building simulation engine, including gaming support (single and network multiplayer). Everything possible is planned to be simulated, including elevators, stairs, interfloor areas, ductwork, and more, all in first-person 3D. The simulator core is called the Scalable Building Simulator, or SBS. Buildings are stored in scripted text files that are loaded and generated on startup by the simulator. A graphical building designer application is planned to assist in creating building data files. The current version of Skyscraper is written in C++ and uses the open-source CrystalSpace graphics engine, and is multiplatform.

The author has also made available the source code for the project, so you can tweak it to your hearts content should you wish to.
