Walk through the history of the human race and force inventions to help the growth of intellect, the industry and future technology.
You can decide the fate of the human race and figure out if we can make it to the stars or perish.
You Get Only One chance to make it right!
The negative effects (Plague, Food Shortage...) are sadly not colored differently and definitely need better explaining. They kill off a percentage of the population and reduce the growth. If they happen too often it will set the growth to negative value and thus humans die off.
Written in pure Java, no libraries but one huge mess ;p
Images for the font are done in ASESprite. Programmed with eclipse. The earth and the clouds are randomly generated using Perlin Noise and some coloring magic. The rendering engine is a simple BufferedImage upscaled and using BufferStrategy for double/triple buffering.
Tested with Java 7 on Windows 8 (x64).
Make sure you extract the whole zip and either run run.cmd or run.sh depending on your OS.
