Bregon The Trail
The game strayed a bit from the original design, it was meant to be just an Oregon Trail clone. That was it. Then, I ended up adding and removing things. While it still is very obviously meant to be like Oregon Trail, the game has changed quite a bit over the 430 builds.
One thing I wish I could have gotten working early on was my sprite system. Since the game uses CMD/Terminal for it's graphics, I needed to use ANSI escape codes to generate color, and that really messes with my Notepad ASCII art skills. I was originally planning on making a sprite editor, however I needed libraries that I couldn't install (This was being made for a school project, on school computers) so I ended up having to shelf that idea.
Eventually, I want to clean up the code a bit and add missing features, like sound, nice graphics and cross-platform support. I'm also thinking about making an Android port. I also want to improve and release my version management tools and IDE.
