ExamProject2022 by DanielKjr and Hækspøglen
A downloadable game
The game was developed over the course of five weeks by two people as an exam project, the current state of the game is mostly a framework for further development, meaning it doesn't have much in terms of actual gameplay mechanics at the moment.
The game was made primarily focused on using the A* search algorithm for path finding, while utilizing databases to store information about the maps, objects and player, while applying several different design patterns.

Install instructions
Extract the content of the zip file to a location of your choice.
Run EksamensProjekt2022.exe to start the game.
You control the camera with WASD and move the character with left click.
Hitting the D key before pressing play enters "Developer mode" allowing you to create and save map layouts. The controls for this mode is visible to the left side of the starting location. The only way to exit this mode is to exit the game.
Hitting the Escape key while playing will bring up a menu, while also saving your changes to the areas or your characters current stats.
If you delete the userinfo.db file and run the game again, the program will re-create it with default values. If you close the game through task manager before it finishes that process, the game will be unable to run and you will have to delete the empty userinfo.db, as well as the "userinfo.db-journal" file that will be made as part of the sql scripts' "transaction" when reading the database.
This is due to the fact that the reading of the script only occurs if the file doesn't exist.
Fixed an issue making the game unable to launch ironically caused by the Readme.txt
