Case study

tower-together: reconstructing SimTower's simulation for multiplayer

tower-together reconstructs SimTower's simulation as a multiplayer browser game. A TypeScript simulation core runs in a Cloudflare Worker and clients, while documented behavior notes and captured traces from the original executable guide comparisons of state at each tick. The project supplies its own interface and assets.
