Project 2: The Final Frontier

- by Simon Tsui pd4

Project Description

This project was inspired by the tamagotchi handheld digital pet game. In playing this game, your pet will gain traits like experience. Progress is saved in a text file upon exiting the app unless the program is keyboard interrupted. Networking was used for the sole purpose of maintaining a leaderboard text file. This was deemed the best way to have a leaderboard so users can't edit the leaderboard file as they pleased. The game is also educational, containing an informational background on your dog.

Required Libraries None
