Micro-Tram Simulator: a minimalist tram simulator with arcade-style controls.

Gameplay:

The game features very simple controls that are easy to get used to. You can choose from several tram models. When you enter the map, all trams are automatically controlled; all you have to do is find the one you want and take control.

To drive, you first need to switch the reverser (the lever in the lower right corner of the screen) to the desired position: up for forward, middle for neutral, and down for reverse. Keep in mind that this switch won't work while moving, and you'll have to come to a complete stop.

To accelerate or decelerate, turn the controller lever to the appropriate position.

Navigating switches:

If the tram is on a route, you don't need to worry about switches; just drive along the route, and all the switches will automatically switch. To manually switch a turn signal, you need to turn on the direction indicator in the direction you want to turn (driving straight ahead also counts as a turn). However, this only works when you're not on a route.

Spawning and Deleting Trams:

To spawn a new tram, press R (or the corresponding button on Android). In the tram spawner window that opens, you can select the tram you want and add it to the map by pressing the "Spawn" button. It will appear at the depot, and you'll only need to switch between trams until you select it.

However, for some trams, in addition to a single train, a CME is also available. By default, this switch is set to "X1," meaning the tram will spawn as a single unit, but "X2" and "X3" are also available, allowing you to create a train with multiple cars. Each car in a CME is an individual car, so you can switch to it and choose a paint job for it. To remove a tram from the map, switch to the desired tram and click the "Delete" button in the tram spawner window. If you are on the first CME at this point, it will be completely removed, and if you are on the second or last CME, the entire train will be removed except for the previous car. If there are no other trams on the map besides the CME, the first car will remain.

Route System:

To release a tram from a route, open the route menu by pressing the E key (or the corresponding button on Android). The "Release" button will be available at the very top of this window. Clicking this button releases the bot from the route and will no longer move on its own; it will remain parked with its hazard lights on.

To set a route for a tram in the same route menu window, select any route from the list (if available on the map), then click "Select," and the tram will immediately begin moving. A bot-controlled tram will always enter the route, no matter where it is; the switches will always switch in the appropriate direction.

Repaints:

You can change the current tram's paint job to any other (provided you have any installed). To do this, open the pause menu, select "Repaints," and select the desired paint job from the list. Then, click "Apply." The paint job will be applied immediately to the current tram.
