Inspiration
The War in Iraq was not handled very well. I always wanted to envision we could have avoided some of the problems we ran into. Probably the biggest reason we failed is that we did not have a unified policy and dealt with people very haphazardly. While this game is not nearly as complex as the war, it is based on the discussions we had together.
What it does
Just a brief mental exercise in coordinating the logistics of allocating soldiers to different provinces. You will need to do damage control when things go bad and capitalize on the good events that knock the enemy off balance.
How I built it
Using the C programming language and regular intake of caffeine in its many, wonderful forms.
Challenges I ran into
Trying to narrow down the list of variables that could be used in-game and what functionalities to include
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
A game that appears simple, but requires a fair amount of long term planning to beat.
What I learned
Using a series of random number generators can create a primitive probability system that is actually quite robust.
What's next for Occupation Video Game
Adding in the other features that had to be cut due to time and a better user interface so it doesn't feel like a 90s Oregon Trail game.
