Futility : A world war 1 themed strategy game
NOTE : IF WINDOWS USERS GET "NOT RESPONDING" TOWARDS THE START, RESTART THE GAME. IT WILL USUALLY WORK AFTER 2-3 TRIES. IF THAT FAILS, RUN IT IN WINDOWS XP SP3 COMPATIBILITY MODE. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, COMMENT ERROR CODES AND I WILL SEE IF I CAN FIX THEM.
Needs to compile:
-SDL2
-SDL2_TTF
-SDL2_MIXER
-SDL2_IMG
-jansson
-PNG library
-C compiler
Premise:
This is a world war 1 game. There are british and Germans. Their objective is to take the opposing trench. You and your friend are the commanders.
How to play:
Britain plays with the mouse, Germany with the keyboard. Click the buttons to put out units or to switch sound on and off. The controls are
- ANZACs/Sturmtruppen : Quicker than BEF, but more expensive(1st button for britain, 2 for germany, 100 points)
- BEF/Landwehr : Basic unit, slow but plentiful (2nd button for britain, 1 for germany, 50 points)
- Artillery : call in some shells on the enemy position (3rd button for britain, 3 for germany, 150 points)
- Gas : shell with gas clouds across the enemy frontline ! (4th button for britain, 4 for germany, 200 points)
- Escape exits during and after the game
Audio on and off should be clear
Once 10 soldiers have crossed the a side, the other side wins. But was it really worth it?
