:floppy_disk: Background info
As a high school student still new to programming, I created a command line turn-based strategy game called WMD: Weapons of Mass Domination. The original implementation used the Borland IDE and C++, and was stored and distributed on floppy disks. You can find the original source code archived here.
Today, I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science and work as a professional software developer. This is a newer re-implementation of that game from many years ago, built using modern technologies and development practices I have learned since then. This is basically a fun hobby project of mine to see how far along my skills and knowledge have progressed since then (and also because some of my friends still ask if I can make the game available to them again).
:sparkles: Improvements and new features
This new version of the game has the following improvements over the original:
- .NET 6 and C# 10
- Separate assemblies (i.e., core game logic is separate from the command line app)
- Some unit testing
- Better game state management with OOP, commands, and immutable
recordtypes - UI improvements, including using arrow keys on command menus rather than entering numbers
- More realistic Earth statistics
