This was the project I undertook for our first assignment as a student at the AIE.  Even though it is very simple, I put a lot of work into both the engine, and the game.  The story in particular I regard quiet fondly, as it was a remake, and planned conclusion to It's first iteration, which was made several years earlier as my first C++ project.  Unfortunately, the game was never quite completed, with all but 3 of the planned rooms, as well as the end-game boss battle remaining incomplete.

The assessment criteria was do develop a string library in C++, and then crate a text-based game that utilizes this library.  Being no stranger to C++, I quickly powered through the library portion of the assignment, so that I could work on the game.  I did end up getting a little carried away with the engine, however, ending up with a product that was completely data-driven, complete with hooks to tie into driving events, etc.
