This is a port in C of the original "Lunar Lander" video game, which is written in BASIC. Tell me more.
This application depends on:
- Linux because Windows(r)(tm) is crap.
- Build tools. Mainly gcc, make and some other stuff.
- A VT1000 compatible terminal emulator for the color output.
Just run make if you have all depencies and make install to install. make clean will clean the project up.
Lunar Lander was the first-ever PC game written in 1967 by a student. It was originally written in BASIC, but there are plenty of other languages out there in which this game is written. @nicolaisueper and myself go to the same school where we had to pick a topic for a project we had to do. We decided to write a text-based game in C. As we stumbled upon lunar-lander at technologizer we decided to write a similar program like this in C.
So we took a look at the BASIC sources which we got here and began writing. Now the final version of our program is finished and we are just about to begin working on a GUI version of this.
