Oct 07, 2008 As far as I know there are no 3D train sims that run on Mac OSX. I'm building my own, but it will probably be many years before I have anything I can share. There is another 2D sim called SteamTrain. I think you can download a demo at www.nostware.com.

Can’t get enough of sashimi, but can’t afford to eat out at restaurants every time you fancy this simply delicious, elegant raw fish dish from Japan? Think that it’s too time consuming or too difficult to make yourself? We’ve put together a quick guide to making sashimi at home, telling you all you need to know in order to prepare this Japanese delicacy, from how to choose your fish to how to serve it beautifully. Follow our instructions and you’ll soon be an expert at making homemade sashimi.
What is sashimi?
Sashimi means something that is raw and sliced into bite sized pieces, either with the grain or against it. It can be any kind of foodstuff, including vegetables and tofu, although the most popular sashimi tends to be made from fish or seafood.
For the purposes of this guide, we’re going to tell you how to prepare fish sashimi.
How to choose your sashimi fish
The most common fish used for sashimi in Australian restaurants are tuna, salmon and kingfish, although you can also use squid, scallops, whiting, snapper, bream, garfish and flounder. However, there’s more to making good sashimi than simply ensuring that your fish is as fresh as possible, as some fish actually tastes better if it’s left to age, altering the flavour and texture over time.
If you’re making your sashimi from smaller fish or seafood, it’s best to use them as soon as you get them. However, some of the larger fish, such as snapper or flounder will taste better if they’re left overnight so that their muscles can relax. In order to make sashimi preparation easier, it’s advisable to buy your fish already scaled and trimmed. Your fishmonger will usually be happy to do this for you.

It is also possible to use frozen fish to make sashimi. Using frozen fish enables you to keep it in your freezer until you need it, plus you’ll be able to buy fish in season that you may not be able to get throughout the year.
How to prepare your fish for sashimi
Buying skinned and filleted fish will make it much easier to prepare your homemade sashimi. Remember to always keep your knives as sharp as possible, and always keep your hands and equipment clean.
Japanese chefs often use many different slicing techniques when making sashimi, the most common of which are:
Hira-zukuri
Translated to ‘the rectangular slice’, this slicing technique is the most common technique used to make sashimi. If you’re right handed, you should start from the right side of the fish fillet, and draw your knife from the base of the blade to the tip in one vertical stroke. This will give you a cleanly sliced piece of fish approximately 0.5 to 1 centimetre in width. The hira-zukuri is best used for fish such as salmon, tuna and kingfish.
Usu-zukuri
This means ‘thin slice’ and is so named because you cut the fillet from the left, cutting across the grain in a horizontal motion. This cut is usually used for thin fillets of fish such as flounder, bream and whiting as it creates an extremely thin, diagonal slice.
The other most commonly used cuts are the ito-zukuri, or thread slice, which results in thin slivers. This is often used to slice seafood, such as squid and very narrow fish. To create small cubes of thick soft tuna, sashimi chefs use the kaku-zukuri or aptly named square slice.
No matter which technique you choose to use to slice your fish, the aim is to make each slice exactly the same in order to create the same texture throughout. This takes practice, so don’t expect to master this quickly.
Serving your sashimi
You may have eaten sashimi that’s been placed across a mound of rice. However, the Japanese usually eat it alone, accompanied by Japanese shoyu soy sauce for dipping, shredded daikon radish, pickled ginger and, of course, some wasabi.
Basic sashimi etiquette
If you want to eat sashimi as the Japanese do, there are a few rules to follow.
Practice makes perfect
By following our beginner’s guide to making sashimi at home, you’ll soon gain the confidence to make this simple, tasty dish, and while it may take you a while to come close to the perfection achieved by professional sashimi chefs, we’re sure that you’ll enjoy your own homemade sashimi just as much.
Summary:
For this game, our goal was to design a game where the core game experience was comprised of only 10 seconds. As such, we came up with the idea of a point and click game where players can hover above a part of the screen and click the mouse button to drop something onto a moving target. We took this mechanic and developed it into Sashimi Train where players need to drop a piece of sashimi onto the rice cats as they move by while avoiding the wasabi rats, all within 10 seconds.

What Went Right:
A big part of the success we had with our game was in creating a fun and re playable experience which was entirely based within the 10 second constraint of this project. Indeed, the game feels like it has a rich and full play experience, even if it is within 10 seconds. We also were successful in making the game frustrating and a little anxious which was one of our main goals from the beginning after the brainstorming process. This frustration comes from the fact that you need to place the sashimi at the right time and at the right spot so it falls on the correct target, otherwise you lose points.
What Went Wrong:

One thing that was not as successful and needs a bit of tweaking is the speed at which the sushi pieces move. In fact, they move to fast for the player to be able to drop the sashimi piece onto the correct place and often leads the player wasting too much time thinking about where to drop the piece to gain points. This means that within 10 seconds, the player cannot accumulate that many points unless they decide to spam the drop button and hope for the best. Another issue we had was with the mouse cursor itself. It appears that the custom chopsticks cursor we have does not transfer to a Web GL build since it is outside of Unity.

Next Steps:

In a future iteration, we would definitely like to make the speed at which the sushi pieces appear more manageable for players as well as fix the cursor itself and even add an animation to it so it looks like the sashimi is actually being dropped. Another thing we would like to do is create levels for the game in which there are difficulty levels, from easy, medium and hard. This would allow players to practice with easier levels and get the feel of the game without feeling like they are being punished right from the get go.
