ElCity: A Simple SimCity Clone in Emacs Lisp

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

ElCity is a small Emacs Lisp project that implements a turn-based SimCity-like city builder entirely inside Emacs. It uses a functional core with an imperative UI, a DSL for tile types, and deterministic state transitions, making it easy to test and extend. The repo includes installation steps, game rules, and development commands, offering a compact example of architecture and in-editor simulation.
