Because I lack the coding chops to access data from a website in my game, I’m going a different route.<\/p>\n

I was in IRC lamenting my lack of ability with regards to the theme, when GirlFlash suggested that I simply pick a topic in Wikipedia and run with it.<\/p>\n

With that, I’ve chosen m’topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yes, River City Ransom. A clone of it!<\/p>\n

I’m going to make it as true to the original as possible without it actually being the original!<\/p>\n

(EDIT: I’m actually leaning more towards Python\/Geany\/Pygame right now, so I really don’t know ’till I write some actual code :P)<\/p>\n

And I’m doing it in C++! In Code::Blocks! Using SDL!<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping…<\/p>\n
