What is a Neighborhood?
From:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbourhood
A neighbourhood (Commonwealth English), or neighborhood (American English), is a geographically localized community within a larger city, town, suburb or rural area. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a starting point: "…Neighborhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighborhoods, then, are the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realize common values, socialize youth, and maintain effective social control."
How does a Neighborhood relate to the Tygron Engine?
Neighborhoods in the Tygron Engine are mutual exclusive spatial areas that divide a city/ village. These areas do not overlap and are, when available, based on real (historical) data.
It is possible to build up a project session, by not making all available neighborhoods active in the first level(s). This would facilitate a first introductory level, with a small neighborhood only active, so that users can familiarize themselves with the Tygron Engine in a secluded area of the project, before progressing into the more complex spatial issues at hand.
- Load or create a project with existing Neighborhoods in the editor
- From the Top Bar of the editor, select Storyline > Levels
- On the Left panel of the Editor, select (expand) the level where neighborhoods need to be (de)activated
- On the bottom of the list the just expanded options for the selected level, select 'Playable Neighborhoods'
- Use the check boxes on the list on the Right Panel of the editor to (de)activate the Neighborhoods as required for the selected level ]]
