Several years ago I gave a talk at HAR2009 about my work applying Constructionist Education ideas to SimCity, which explains how I collaborated with the OLPC project to open up and publish the SimCity source code as free software, and translate Papert's and Kay's philosophy into concrete goals and features:

Chaim Gingold, who also works at HARC, discussed my work open sourcing SimCity and his own work analyzing and using the source code to teach game design, in his PhD thesis on Play Design:
