OpenTTD WebConfig

A tool to configure an OpenTTD server via web interface.

Tested with OpenTTD 1.0.4, Apache2 and PHP 5.2.4 on Windows and Ubuntu Linux. No reason it shouldn’t work on any other platform, given PHP.

OpenTTD – Junctions and stations

Olexandr Savchuk — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:01:13 +0000

OpenTTD is an open source remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer game Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It is an “Urban planning and simulation game”.

I’ve once again started playing OpenTTD – it’s been years now. OpenTTD, as stated above, is an open source remake of a strategy game called Transport Tycoon Deluxe from the MS-DOS times. The goal is to create a transportation network for passengers and cargo using trains, trucks, ships and planes, and to make more money than your opponents. A couple of screenshots to illustrate:

Efficient rail networks in the game can become very complex, with hundreds of trains rolling on them. Such networks cannot be built without large intersections, and the traffic flow is strongly influenced by the junction design efficiency. In this post, I’ll collect a few junction and station designs I made, that could become helpful for some OpenTTD players out there.

Java Sokoban

At the end of my first semester as a computer science student, we had a project to complete. The project was a game we had to implement in Java. Sokoban is widely known and has many implementations in different languages, and this is what we managed to come up with – we even made it to the course’s “Hall of Fame”.
