I couldn’t wait to visualize our current software project. First of all, you have to create a MSE file of your code. The MSE file as a generic file of your source code. This is done with iPlasma, as described here http://moose.unibe.ch/news/iplasma-to-moose-screencast.

After you have created an MSE file, you can now visualize your code with Code City. Just download it from http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/wettel/codecity.html, run it, import the MSE file and create your city. Enjoy!

For better code analysis, I changed the configuration of the “buildings” in my city. I changed the width and length of class element …

… to a linear mapper based on the lines of code.

Code City is very helpful to compare different parts of the application and to just visualize the software!
