Notes: After completing a few 2d games, I started to notice that my projects were becoming more complex. I also realized how bad some of my coding and design practices were, and wanted to take steps to fix them in the future. At that time GameDev.Net was starting a C++ workshop and had a text based project laid out. The project sounded like lots of fun, so I took it on and here is the result. I learned a lot about object-oriented programming, and will be implementing what I've learned in future games.
