Paranoia 1.3 has been released!
What is it?
========
Paranoia 1.3 is a port to Python from C of the old "paranoia" console
game that used to be distributed with the bsd-games package, but has
long since been removed. I ported this from C to Python as an exercise
in learning Python and because I was suffering a serious bout of
boredom and nostalgia.
Paranoia is based on the role playing game, by the same name, that was
very popular amoung a certain set during the 1980's and is making a
resurgance today.
Note that this release is as identical to the oringal game as I could
make it within reason. I'm not a C coder, so I may have missed some
functionality, but I don't think so. If you notice any errors or have
any suggestions on cleaning up the Python code, please feel free to
contact me.
Where can I get it?
==============
paranoia.py and the original c code that it is based on are currently
avaliable from:
