**:construction: This game is still under development.**

## :video_game: Premise

You and your opponents are evil geniuses attempting world domination. Manage money, henchmen and reputation to take control of land area; the

first player to control the entire land surface area of Earth wins!

Along the way, beware of attacks from other players, and try to get your hands on a nuclear stockpile to turn the tide in your favor.

## :book: About

### :floppy_disk: Background info

As a high school student still new to programming, I created a command line turn-based strategy game called WMD: Weapons of Mass Domination.

The original implementation used the Borland IDE and C++, and was stored and distributed on floppy disks. You can find the original source

code archived [here](https://github.com/Xyaneon/WMD-Weapons-of-Mass-Domination-Original).

Today, I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science and work as a professional software developer.

This is a newer re-implementation of that game from many years ago, built using modern technologies and development practices I have learned since then.

This is basically a fun hobby project of mine to see how far along my skills and knowledge have progressed since then (and also because some

of my friends still ask if I can make the game available to them again).

### :sparkles: Improvements and new features

This new version of the game has the following improvements over the original:

- [.NET 6](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotnet-6) and [C# 10](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-10)

- Separate assemblies (i.e., core game logic is separate from the command line app)

- Some unit testing

- Better game state management with OOP, commands, and immutable [`record`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-9#record-types) types

- UI improvements, including using arrow keys on command menus rather than entering numbers

- More realistic Earth statistics
