Any way to install on windows?
Not being able to play on windows is a bit of a downer. There's no way of switching to a curses library or something that will work crossplatform? I'll try and run it in a VM later. The screenshots look neat.
Yeah, sorry :( I'm using https://github.com/nsf/termbox which has an issue open https://github.com/nsf/termbox/issues/65
I didn't realize this when starting, and would have chosen something else. I might be able to port it to curses, but the weekend is over now :/
Porting is explicitly allowed by the rules!
Awesome idea! I too wrote a text-based game for my entry this year. It's good to see that this genre hasn't completely died away.
Your game runs perfectly on Ubuntu 15.10 :) It plays nicely and the story is mildly interesting (and funny - didn't you read Dijkstra's papers before bedtime like any regular child? :p). Now that you've got a basic engine up and running, maybe make the gameplay a bit more exciting next time. A more interactive environment, maybe? :)
I chose to stay outside and leave computers aside, maybe my subconscious is telling me something... anyways, good entry, works perfectly on Ubuntu. Good memories for me, It made me remember my first BASIC text adventures. good job!
