Using templates in the Tygron Engine

In the Tygron engine it is possible to take the game elements only from an existing game - Stakeholders, Indicators, Actions, etc - and transpose these over to a new area. This is very convenient in case a similar spatial issue is at hand on different locations. This functionality also enables the user to make elaborate predefined actions or custom indicators, which can easily be transposed as a template game to another area.

Default templates in the Tygron Engine


There are two default games available in the Tygron Engine as templates: Climategame and Bedrijventerrein. Please select the linked names of these games for more information about the specific types of games these templates contain.
