Frequently Asked Questions

No one has actually asked these questions, but you might be interested:

Q: Is it safe?

Answer: Yes. I have not used external libraries and compiled programs on official clear Windows 10 (VMWare Player) in official Visual Studio C++ 2022. For Linux, I use Arch Linux with Visual Studio Code. If you do not trust suspicious links, you can compile this program for your system on one's own. See the documentation by compilation.

Q: What is the purpose of the game?

Answer: Firstly, gaining new knowledge in the field of C++ programming. Before I worked only on JS/TS. Secondly, for fun. This project arose spontaneously when I did not even think about the ultimate goal. You can see it in early commits.

Q: Why this game is not available on MacOS??

Answer: I have no production from Apple. CI - this is a possible solution, but I don't like that I can't test it on a real machine.

Q: Is there anything to develop??

Answer: Of course! Can add selecting language, can add game settings, can add game achievements, can write more tests, and include debuggers. Also, can add support for MacOS with CI/CD and arm architecture for Linux and Windows. Maybe in the future, can add the ncurses library as GUI lib, but that's a completely different story ;)

Q: What is "PoWeR" on main screen?

Answer: In honor of Power form the Chainsaw Man. After two months of absence from GitHub, my project appeared almost as epic as Power appeared in the second episode.
