Because why not? :)

(In this example I used "RETREAT.SC2" from SimCity 2000's City folder)

Code:

SC2KCity city = TemmieSC2KParser.loadCity(new File("path to sc2 file"));
System.out.println(city.getCityName());

Output:

Kathy's Retreat

You can also use Kotlin

Code:

var city = TemmieSC2KParser.loadCity(File("path to sc2 file"));
println(city.cityName);

Output:

Kathy's Retreat

Simple as that, have fun!

You can use TemmieSC2KParser with Maven by using Jitpack. (sorry, I don't have a maven repo yet 😢)
