thoughts on programming project
So I have to decide what I'm going to do for my programming project, which I'll have what seems like a month and a half but is really four weeks to work on, because vacation is in the middle of it. And... I have to know what I'm doing and turn in a project proposal by this Friday. (Which is good, at least in comparison to needing it by Monday like I thought I did.)
The current thought is a short adventure game, NetHack-ish in style, though not nearly as cool and quirky and neat and extensive as that is because, well, I'm one person in an intermediate java class with four weeks to write it, while simulataneously working on all the other classwork we'll doubtless have. But I figure, you know, go down a few levels, fight the boss, get the treasure, get out alive: I might be able to handle that. We'll see.
And if you've never played NetHack -- shoo! Click that link above and go download it now! Best game ever, forefather of the entire RPG genre, and it fits on a single floppy. :D
