"What are SCURK and BAT?"
SCURK (SimCity Urban Renewal Kit) and BAT (Building Architect Tool) are
building and object editors for SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000 respectively.
SCURK is a paint program that allows one to paint buildings and objects onto SimCity 2000 "tiles." A group of tiles make a tileset.
BAT is a building block program that allows one to make buildings and edit tilesets for SimCity 3000. Buildings are made by stacking building blocks. Doors, windows and other details are pasted on like decals. BAT is available via download from Maxis at its BAT webpage.
