These calculators were originally part of an assignment at Lansing Community College, for the class "CITP 150," taken in the spring semester of 2006 under instructor Mave Coxon. One of the first assignments involved making an easy converter app of a value in gallons to a value in quarts and liters. Going a step beyond, the founder of Dozerfleet decided to try fancy skinning graphics for the app - theming it after The Sims 2.

The first edition of this app was compiled in Visual Basic.NET, and designed to run on all Windows PCs which had a .NET framework installed. In 2014, an HTML port version of it was made - which can be embedded in nearly any website.

In the same spirit of modernization, this web port was made for release in October of 2014 along with its web port Sims 2 cousin. The VB.NET version had issues exporting properly, since the Dozerfleet Main tower of that time wasn't entirely compatible with some of the needed .NET libraries required for proper export. A version finally did export, but of reduced quality.
