Description:
Copies from a Wiki (I really suck at writing this stuff up):

Basically a quick transport tycoon clone. Really crappy gameplay, really crappy 
graphics, but a good rendering engine.

We can stick to trains for now. And don\'t even deal with economics, just with 
moving the train and drawing it.

We should support both 3d and 2d rendering modes. All the graphics can be in 
3d, and to convert to 2d we simply render them and read them back. This can be 
done at run-time, though there should be a way to cache them (and a way for 
packagers to do it from the command-line).


There a couple hundred lines of code that don\'t do anything but draw a grid, 
but my co-author (fuzzie) is rewriting them.  I\'m hoping to get it into CVS 
quickly so we can work on it properly.


Other Software Required:
it uses SDL
it may support 3d in the future, so probably Mesa.  That\'ll be optional 
though, I don\'t have hardware acceleration :)
