That Time I Crossed A Barren Desert To Protect&Care The World From Terrible Code

The year is 2038.

After a decade of trouble, Apple decided to finally crush the IT sector by using brute force.
You are Nem, the owner of the last surviving copy of the K&R Bible that hasn't been snatched by Apple. Should it be lost, millions of incompetent coders will write terrible C and Apple will eventually become a monopoly.

The book, Nem. You must keep it alive to keep IT alive!!!

Controls

Use the mouse to clear Nem's path. The book is too large; she can't see what's in front of her!

Pat her head 3 times to restart.

I recommend using a real mouse. I think it might be unbeatable with a trackpad/trackpoint.

Lesson learned

Everyone and their grandmother use a game engine, and I don't. I didn't do my homework and didn't prepare anything aside from the previous LD game's code, so I wrote everything from almost ground zero. Therefore, even though I'm happy with how it turned out, it could have been better if I hadn't spent several hours on collision.

Requirements

Windows: Visual C++ Redistributable (Website, Direct link)

Linux: SFML, tmxlite
