The task is bringing real life events as a game.

Thanks

"Life" is regulated by 2 timers:
A "life" timer, like at the age of 1yo you should know how to walk, at 2yo, start to speak, at 6yo, go to school, etc...
And a "day" timer, like waking at 7am, have breakfast, go to work til 12h ha lunch, go back to work, etc...
And then comes the "unexpected events" like an accident, a divorce, parenting, etc...
Then it's a matter of avoiding conflicting events... like, you can't have lunch if you had an accident minutes before...

@Cableguy, thanks but the focus is not on the logic but rather the technologies available and whether we have b4x technologies to deliver this and whether anyone here has done a clone of such.

Besides one team has just created a TeamViewer clone.

There are various game engines, methodologies that are applied and even perhaps AI implementations etc.

The issue is to achieve this kinda project what does one need to do, with what technologies that this forum has, are b4x tools capable of such deliveries etc etc.

That's what I'm looking for.

Based on the XUI2D example pack, I believe it is possible. Or you are talking about 3D engine?

[XUI2D] Example Pack

Updated thread based on X2 v2.0+: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/xui2d-x2-v2-0-2021.131279/

I searched on Internet but couldn't find any open source project for The Sims. The X2/XUI 2D (Box2D) Game Engine is not working out of the box for isometric maps but...

Isometric maps are not supported by X2 framework. It can be done with some work.

May be you should post your question in Game Development
