C Trek
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
My personal port to C and remake of retro space adventure Star Trek text game from the 1970s. Inspired by and mostly referencing the version "Super Star Trek" printed in creative computing, which you can see for yourself here, I've added many of my own improvements and features while keeping it close enough to the original.
These games are meant to be run in a terminal with a keyboard, there is no graphical interface present.
No gen AI or LLM or "vibe coding" whatsoever has been used in this project, and I don't want it used for any ai related uses ever!
QUICK START:
A number of Klingon starships estimated to be between 16 to 24 in number have invaded Federation space. In 30 days they will be in striking distance of Fleet Headquarters. You are given command of a Federation Starship and are to intercept and stop the invading fleet. Your only support will be the Federation Starbases located in 64 quadrant area.
