ASCII school-project game (2007)
Game and source in Finnish
The EXE file can be run with DosBox
The source file contains no colour, although it is there in the precompiled EXE file, my teacher at the time wouldn't allow it for some technical reason and I've lost the alternative source file
If you wanted to compile this, the one I used originally was Borland C++ 3.1 in DOS
This game is an ASCII dungeon crawler. The rooms are RNG generated, slightly bigger each time. Reaching level 10 is the goal. You must reach the end of the level until your "turn count" reaches 0. Should it reach 0, it will activate sudden
death mode where you can still try to reach the end.

I just wanted to save this for my future self, maybe you can have some fun looking at the legacy stuff.
