micromanager

a text-based game where you manage a microgrid!

description

• in this game, you'll navigate the excitement, challenges, and conundrums of managing a small-town microgrid
• you'll learn all about how microgrids work (with their many benefits and drawbacks) and weigh decisions that face real policymakers and public servants who deliver power to the public
• plus, you'll have help from a lovely assistant (probably) named bub

installation

dependencies

• you've gotta have java installed on your computer

instructions

1. clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/nknish/micromanager/
2. make your way over to the proper directory with cd micromanager
3. finally, start the game with java -cp bin:lib/gson-2.11.0.jar Micromanager

(you should also totally make your terminal exactly 80 chars wide for the best experience)

tech stack

• it's all java (because object-oriented programming is cool!)
• the story is stored in a bunch of json files to keep it nice and flexible
