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:
        Have MinGW installed with the following packages:
        - mingw32-gcc
        - mingw32-pdcurses (dev and dll)

    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:
        make
    In the source directory.

LINUX

    Requirements:
        - gcc
        - ncurses

    Once the above dependencies are satisfied, simply open 
    a terminal in the source directory and run:
        make

OSX

    Requirements:
        Xcode Tools

    Install ncurses on OS X as described here:
        https://gist.github.com/cnruby/960344

    Once this is finished, simply open 
    a terminal in the src/ directory and run:
    gcc FalloutTerminal.c -lncurses -o FalloutTerminal

TODO list:

Custom movement keys
Screen centering
Possible mouse support?
