Disclaimer: The frustrations in the post are overblown for comedic purposes. Also I’m pretty sick and it’s 2:40 am.
For this week’s weekly assignment, the devil haunted me and told me to recreate monopoly. Kids, never listen to the devil. I only started realizing my mistake after it was too late.
So half way through this project that ended up being 350 lines of code by the way, while coding in bed blowing my nose every 5 seconds, I decided to compile a short list of other things I could’ve been doing with my life, and here it is, in no particular order:
- Work on my social life
- Work on my paper on the strong force
- Procrastinate the paper on the strong force
- Netflix
But, I digress. Perhaps my extreme unwillingness to write the paper on the strong force pushed me to write 350 lines of code for a weekly assignment. Back to the topic at hand:
Mehnopoly:
It’s mehnopoly because it’s like monopoly, but meh. Let’s go ahead and get what this game is missing out of the way first:
- No jail system, jail currently acts like free parking
- no houses and hotels
- it’s limited to two players
- chance and community chests only have 2 cards, +100 and -100.
You perform actions using the keyboard, and the game will direct you.
anyways, without further ado, Mehnopoly:
and the code that is so messy that god himself has given up on it:
//0 name, 1 type, 2 owner, 3 cost, 4 rent, 5 xcoordinate, 6 ycoordinate
// types: 0 = income tax, 1 = normal, 2 = railroad, 3 = utilities, 4 = community chest and chance, 5 = jail and free parking, 6 = go,7 = supertax
