Red Line Simulator

By Pete Kish

The Red Line Simulator is a game that puts the player in charge of expanding the northern section of the MBTA Red Line. For each in-game year, the player is able to place down one line. From this new line, they get additional profit each year. If a player puts a station down in a high-population area their profit will be higher compared to a station in a low-population area. The goal of the game is to reach the year 2032 and have enough money. If the player does not have the required amount of money by 2032 they lose, if they do have the required amount they win. The game was made to let people create their own ideas for how the Red Line can be improved. The Red Line is plagued with problems so it is interesting to see how different people would change it
