Terminal Diagnostic - Release

ROADPOCALYPSE
A downloadable game

Within the next week I will be releasing a test module, which preps the Terminal for use with the game.

When you exit the program, the Terminal is reset back to its default state.

When you launch the "Terminal Diagnostic Utility" it will format the Terminal to the required 72x30 size window. It will attempt this 3 various ways depending on your system .

You will be prompted to install the font, and allow the needed Registry edit. The registry edit simple puts in a reference to the "Terminal Console" to allow the custom mono font to be used. Each of these steps can also be run manually outside of the Terminal if something does not work right. The registry edit only ever needs to be ran once, while newer versions of the GAMEFONT file will override any outdated version in your windows FONT folder.
