SNES SimCity Map Viewer
Lua Script for Bizhawk

For use with BizHawk emulator: https://tasvideos.org/BizHawk
Open the game, go to the menu for Tools > Lua Console.
In the Lua Console, go to the menu for Script > Open Script to load this script.

A window should open which displays the full map of the city.
At first it will take a few seconds to draw the initial map,
but after this it will update quickly with further changes to the map.

To issue a full redraw of the map, press L+R. This can be used to pick up
seasonal changes of colours, or correct corruption from drawing the map
during a menu where the city graphics were unloaded (e.g. the tax screen,
or title screen).

If you experience slowdown, try lowering the REDRAW_RATE near the top of the lua script file.

If you want a complete snapshot of your map, try pausing the game,
then pressing L+R for a redraw. This will stop animations and changes,
allowing your city to render completely as it exists in this moment.
You can use Alt + Print Screen to copy the image to your clipboard,
which you can paste into any art program (e.g. Paint).
