Sailing game written in C: An optional project, part of the lesson "Structured Programming" (1st semester)

Note: This project does NOT work correctly on the latest versions of Windows 10/11 due to major changes in the CMD/Terminal. Items are probably NOT going to be desplayed correctly unless run with an older version of the Windows CMD.

sailproj: A console sailing game written in C

This is a local multiplayer game for 1-4 players for the purposes of the lesson "Structured Programming". It uses the windows console to output the game to the player. Players can choose between 3 different ships (each with a unique advantage) and 3 difficulty levels (that affect the enviroment). Winds can influence the ship's movement, making it harder to reach the goal.

Note that the code comments are in Greek.

Specifications for the game (as given by the lesson's instructor)

Game type

Round based game with one or more players; in each round the players define their move; the moves are executed for all players at the same time.

Playground

A large lake with a large island; it has wide and narrow passages between the shores.

Game

The direction and the intensity of the wind changes on each round. Variable and strong wind means increased difficulty. Each player determines the direction and range of his/her movement. The program calculates with specific rules and with a some randomness (which can be changed depending on the desired difficulty) the cruising and the next point that each boat reaches. Optionally, each player's boats can collide with each other.

Winner

Whoever reaches the finish line first, completing a full cruising around the island.
