What is fallout-terminal-clone?

fallout-terminal-clone is a modest recreation of the terminal hacking system
in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas developed with curses. It runs directly
in your terminal or command prompt. I mostly did this as a fun and 
interesting way to explore C.

Instructions

Use WASD to move, and ENTER to choose your selected letter. Ctrl-C to quit.

Building

WINDOWS

    Requirements:
        - mingw-g++ (C/C++ support for MinGW)

    Once MinGW is installed with support for C/C++ compilation, simply copy
    everything from src\deps\ into your MinGW folder. This will install the
    necessary PDcurses libraries.

    Once this is finished, you can compile by running:
    gcc FalloutTerminalWin.c -lpdcurses -static -o FalloutTerminal.exe

    The -static flag is optional, but ensures you won't need to bundle
    libpdcurses.dll with your binary.

LINUX

    Requirements:
        - gcc
        - ncurses

    Once the above dependencies are satisfied, simply run:
    gcc FalloutTerminalLinux.c -lncurses -o FalloutTerminal

OSX

    I don't have an OSX system to test compilation on. I would 
    reccommend installing ncurses, then attempting the Linux
    build instructions.

Plans for the Future

ADD a config file that allows you to:
    change difficulty
    change whether skips/shortcuts are available
    launch another program after it's done
Possible mouse support?
