In [15-minute Santa][15m-santa], you deliver presents around a city,

occasionally stopping at a restaurant to refuel -- biking uphill in the snow

isn't easy! The game uses real data from OpenStreetMap and local GIS sources to

know where shops, single-family homes, and apartments are located. In places

where zoning rules keep people separated from food, Santa will have a hard

time.

15-minute Santa was created by the [A/B Street](abstreet) team as an experiment

to see how quickly we could build a simple arcade game that gets people

thinking about how their city is designed. [The code](santa-code) doesn't make

use of an entity-component system or an existing engine, and animation and

particle effects don't use a custom shader. The game runs natively on Linux,

Mac, and Windows, and on web browsers. There are instructions for modding the

game and adding your own city!

A/B Street updates will return next month. In the meantime, please comment on

the [2021 roadmap](abstreet-roadmap).
