Because I lack the coding chops to access data from a website in my game, I’m going a different route.
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.
With that, I’ve chosen m’topic.
Yes, River City Ransom. A clone of it!
I’m going to make it as true to the original as possible without it actually being the original!
(EDIT: I’m actually leaning more towards Python/Geany/Pygame right now, so I really don’t know ’till I write some actual code 
)
And I’m doing it in C++! In Code::Blocks! Using SDL!
Here’s hoping…
