In-game encyclopedia: recruits, chips, attackers… #74

One thing i like about this game is the fact that it's based on real-world computing. I especially like the recruit descriptions, and have learned about the people behind computing discoveries thanks to this game :)

Would you consider doinh the same thing for chips ? currently most of the information about those is condensed in the mission briefings. But if there were some sort of encyclopedia in which these chips were entries that would add so much i think. It would really push further the educational content of this game. Itqwoulda lso ée interesting to know why you chose such and such chip, what you were inspired by etc…

Mayée add entries for the attackers too ? binary values, hexadecimal values, circuits, the processor, etc…

Well, I have started a Wiki here on github -- https://github.com/ochadenas/cpudefense/wiki -- but that's far from being complete.

Having the same in the game is more difficult, because everything has to be programmed, and you only have a small screen. But it's definitely better to have it in-game than having to change between media. I'll think about a way how to add such information in the game.

Maybe you could have a way to parse the wiki? Isn’t the wiki a markdown like syntax? So this way could be kept synchronized. Otherwise it will become tedious to update the wiki and the in-game encyclopedia.
