Here is my TripleX Console game. I’ve made some modifications.
-
Put in pauses to the gameplay so the user would manually advance in places - especially the end (If you run the compiled exe outside of the terminal it closes the window without giving the user time to read the “victory” message).
-
I added some different flavor to the project.
-
ASCII art took some formatting for breaking out \ characters
-
I separated the game intro text from the “next level” text
-
I removed the first level because it was always 1 1 1. so I have it duplicate level 2 for both level 1 & 2
