A brief look inside Will Wright's mind (maker of The Sims)
I recently read this post by Don Hopkins, one of the core developers of The Sims. In the post Don shows scans of the prototype Motive.c, the first implementation of the "soul" of a Sim:

(It was posted with Will's blessing.)
So I decided to sit down, read it through, and reimplement it myself in JavaScript and a simple interface. If you want to play with it, you can try it out in your browser below (no programming skills necessary). It's very simple but I think it's cool to see how complexity comes out of it.
