mine-city-2000 VS minalac

Here the link the github page

I thought it was interesting that not only does this guy choose C# over Java but he chooses to write getter methods instead of properties

https://github.com/jgosar/mine-city-2000/blob/master/SimCity...

Completely trivial, but as a long time C# developer, this was a big pet peeve.

For City name just do

public string CityName{ get; private set; }

Based on the fact that I see capital letters in String etc, this is either old code or this guy dove head first from Java.

Convert SimCity 2000 cities into Minecraft worlds\ (47 comments)

Yes, I've used this in the past, though it can take a while for maps to be generated from their website, and the API is rate-limited. It's quite impressive overall, though it could use some help, especially as buildings are quite bland.

I like the fact that the tool is open source (https://github.com/ignfab-minalac/minalac as pointed by others) and uses OSM.

It takes a really long time to cross the generated city, even when boosting the in-game speed. That goes to show how much more smaller videogame worlds really are in general, especially when those are walkable.
