This is a cool concept for 2002: a JavaScript game where you build a city and then share it with others by sending it to them as an e-Card.

The creators are people whose names you might recognise: Denise Wilton http://www.kaiusdesign.com/ and Cal Henderson http://www.iamcal.com/.

I'm must be missing it: how do I copy pieces, like for building roads? Or is that simply not possible?

Not a huge deal, just kind of assumed that functionality would be there.

I wonder what things from 2015 people will be re-sharing in 2030 for the nostalgia feels.

Ads?

This is what I find strange with "hacker news". Like, ok, what's the topic? What's the point here?

The copyright on the site suggests that citycreator goes back to 2002. If that's so, then why is it being posted now in 2015?

It's a neat site. And yay for no flash.

Historical posts rock!

We'll add 2002 to the title—thanks.
