Not as efficient as I'd like but I didn't have time to streamline the code and it's a bit complicated to do a game like this entirely in assembly.\r\n\r\nPlease note that this is a DOS game.  As such, it should play fine in 16 and 32 bit versions of Windows, however for best results on modern platforms (and for 64 bit users) I recommend running it through DosBox.\r\n\r\nTaken directly from the README:\r\nWith the release of Paper Toss 2 being publicised all over the Android world, I felt it befitting to commemorate this event with a take of my own on the game's concept.  Therefore, I present PaperFlick - A version of the Paper Toss concept created in the style of a text adventure!  Given the scope of the game, I feel it fits fully within the minimalism theme - what could be more minimal than a text-adventure without an adventure that takes place in one room without you moving and has only one puzzle! :P .  So please, enjoy PaperFlick and perhaps check out some of my other work at http:\/\/www.warpath.741.com\/creations.htm assuming it's not gone down for the nth time this week - I should probably move it to another webhost), or follow me on Twitter @DHeadshot.  -- Deadly Headshot","title":"PaperFlick!"}
