#BarrenPlanet offers three levels of computer opponent. The Easy opponent offers an introduction, but Fair and Hard opponents offer an increasing level of challenge. #ibmpc #msdos #cga

@cyningstan Congratulations on the release! I just finished the first level. I had some questions about the combat but then I discovered you also wrote an extensive, authentic looking manual. It controls well and I really like the soft color scheme. If you're open to feedback, I have two interface related things: I keep reading the (lowercase) 'v' in as an 'y', and it would be nice if units that are out of movement points have some indicator.

@cyningstan@mastodon.social This is amazing stuff! :0) I will try it soon in pure DOS env. I've seen you coded also some more, like Ossuary. #msdos #cga #rpg #dungeoncrawler #retrogaming
