This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Yet again resubmitted without any attempt at demonstrating notability or otherwise improving the draft. Based on that, and the multiple earlier declines, I can only conclude that better source are not available and the subject is therefore not notable enough to warrant inclusion. To avoid further reviewer effort being expended on this, I am now rejecting rather than merely declining this draft. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Needs independent and secondary sources talking about the topic at some depth. bonadea contributions talk 18:04, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Skyscraper Simulator (formerly Skyscraper Project), also known as Skyscraper Sim, Skyscrapersim,^[1] Skyscraper 3D, or simply Skyscraper^[1] is a free and open-source 3D building simulator created by Ryan Thoryk, currently utilizing the OGRE graphics rendering engine, and formerly using Crystal Space.

History

Skyscraper was originally developed in Microsoft Visual Basic using the Truevision3D graphics engine, and simulated a single building (an early design of the Triton Center, the program's flagship building). The first release of Skyscraper was released on December 27, 2002. A 1.0 stable release was released in mid-2004, followed by a gradual complete redesign and rewrite in C++ using the Crystal Space simulation engine with wxWidgets for the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) control panel. The first release of the rewritten simulator (version 1.1, released as 2.0 Alpha 1) was released on January 6, 2009.^[2] Skyscraper's latest stable release, version 1.11 (released as "2.0 Alpha 11") was released on April 13, 2023. The last version to use the Crystal Space engine was the September 19, 2012 build. Beginning with the July 28 2024 build, the simulator is now in the 2.0 Beta stage.

Features

Users can manually hand-design buildings by scripting with corresponding coordination for every objects, or use a tool called "Beno Building Creator" made by Beno with HTML5 Canvas element to make them.
Fully functioning elevators^[1]^[2]^[3]
Escalators,^[1] using fan-made scripts, most notably "Escalator2011"
