+
+ The process of creating a simulation form a simulation template is referred to as instantiation. The
+ instantiation process is divided into two steps:
+
+
+
+
+
-
+
+ Mapping (Ready Template -> Mapped Template). Starting with
+ a ready (complete) simulation template, a copy (clone) is
+ created. This new template is then mapped to objects in the
+ CityBuild world, such as characters and properties.
+
+
+
+
+
+
-
+
+ Casting (Mapped Template -> Simulation). From a mapped simulation template, a copy (clone) is created,
+ and this new template becomes a simulation once it is connected to users in
+ the real world and time frame and other properties of the simulation are specified.
+ A simulation is subdivided into one or more simulation cases
+ that each have their own set of users and will execute independently of
+ eachother. A large class can thus be divided into smaller groups where each group
+ has its own simulation case to play in.
