+ +

+ The process of creating a simulation form a simulation template is referred to as instantiation. The + instantiation process is divided into two steps: + +

    + +

    +

  1. + + 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. + +
  2. +

    + +

    +

  3. + + 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. + +
