Beasties is a game in which you must survive battling monsters. You have your fists, a knife, a gun, and medicine to heal your wounds. Be careful, though, as your ammunition and medicine are limited, and the knife is subject to breaking.
While Beasties is a full-fledged game in and of itself, its purpose is to aid in the development of a larger game that will utilize the features of this game as a battle engine.
Beasties, which used to be written in Python, is currently written in Java, though I may at some time switch to C++.
Prior to version 3.0.0, Beasties was a CLI-based game. After successfully completing my first GUI-based game, Code Master, I decided to convert Beasties to use a GUI, so as of version 3.0.0, Beasties is a GUI-based game.
An Important Note: While there may be modifications that fall into a lower category, the number change will correspond to the highest ranking modification made to the program. For instance, when version 1.1.0 was released, there were several modifications that fell under the scope of a third number change, but since there was a modification that merited a second number change, that number was increased, and the lower ranking number was reset to zero.
