These tests use a variety of sample code (with some of the larger files removed, so they are not complete!) and verifies that they all compile successfully.

About the game
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
"Hegemony 3.0.e" is a turn-based strategy game that simulates the hegemonic
|
|
efforts of medieval empires. "The game of the middle ages" requires correct
|
|
decisions in fields of economics, science, diplomacy, and military. Finding a
|
|
healthy balance among these fields is essential to achive the final goal:
|
|
The establishment of a perfect hegemony.
|
|
A goal that so many empires pursued unsuccesfully in history. Now, it's your
|
|
turn to rewrite history...

Apologies

"The first thought of God was an angel.
|
|
The first word of God was a man."
|
|
(Kahlil Gibran)
|
|
|
|
I have always been a fan of strategy war games and have tried many of them.
|
|
There were bad ones, mediocre ones and good ones, but none was perfectly
|
|
fitting for my taste. So after a time I realized I myself have to make the
|
|
"game of my dreams".
|
|
Well, my thought was the "game of my dreams"...
|
|
... and what I realized is: "Hegemony"!
|
|
|
|
Like God's creation, man, isn't a perfect incarnation of an imagined project,
|
|
so my game isn't either. But like man, so my game has the soul of a superior
|
|
virtual being. (And of course, as I am a little speck of dust in comparison to
|
|
God, so is my creation in comparison to His. ;-))
|
|
|
|
But enough of this sentimental philosophy.
