Tim Richards<p>Amsterdam trams have conductors in little booths near the back, cute. Contrasts with the way I'm paying, which is just to wave the Apple Watch at the validators as I board and leave.

Schrottkatze (Fangirl::<Turbofish>)<p>hi fedi,<br>is there any tram drivers here (optimally from frankfurt or another city deploying flexity (classic)s, but any are fine)?</p><p>i have a few questions (and probably will have many more coming up over time) for a uni gamedev project.</p><p>basically, the idea is the simulation of a <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.tramem.eu/" target="_blank">tram EM</a>, but in a very arcade-like way.</p><p>I still do not want to get the challenging aspects (controls, the "braking feel" etc) wrong.</p><p>so this will probably amount to a bunch of questions and me giving you access to builds of the game so you can playtest it.</p><p>as this is just a semester project (and a "small one" at that, tho the prof expects more then our main project lol), we obviously don't have any funding so i unfortunately cannot offer financial compensation, but obviously i'll put everyone who helped in making this game in the credits. i obviously do not expect any significant time investment in this therefor. i am just a perfectionist and wanna get this right.</p><p>Please boost :boost_request:</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/trams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trams</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trains</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/BahnBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BahnBubble</span></a></p>

Tim Richards<p>I should add that Z-class trams are not particularly amazing vehicles by modern standards, BUT they were significant because their construction signalled the moment you could be sure that Melbourne's tram network was going to survive the post-war abandonment of trams in Australia, UK, USA etc. Phew.

Tim Richards<p>Just discovered from online research that the first Z-class tram - the successors to Melbourne's classic timber-framed W-class trams - ran on 4 May 1975. That'll be 50 years ago in a couple of weeks; I wonder if the anniversary is being marked in any way?</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Melbourne</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tram</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/trams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trams</span></a> cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@danielbowen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>danielbowen</span></a></span></p>
