Simulation_Configuration_Wizard
Project Development Idea: Simulation Configuration Wizard
This development idea is a UI wizard that will allow the user to configure a new simulation, overriding the default XML configuration files.
The wizard should allow the user to configure settlements based on settlement templates, editing name, location, buildings, vehicles, etc.
The wizard should allow the user to configure the number of people, their names, locations, jobs, etc.
The wizard should have default (or randomly determined) settings to allow the user to only configure as much detail as they wish to and leave the rest to defaults.
Later we might want to add pre-configured scenarios of simulations that the user can choose.
Development Status
We currently have a New Simulation Wizard that appears when the user is creating a new simulation. It has a default set of two settlements based on the XML configuration. The user can modify these and add or remove settlements, their templates, starting population, and coordinate locations.
There is more we can add to this, of course. It would be nice to have a way for users to save or load their preferred starting configuration. It would be nice to allow users to create or edit settlement templates as well.
Feel free to add more ideas to this page or add to its discussion.
