Drugwars Ds - Gamebrew

DrugWars DS is a remake of the classic DrugWars played on several platforms. It is a text rpg where you play a drug dealer who needs to make quick cash and pay off the loan shark. City images and effects with dual backgrounds are added. This uses LibFB to render its text, backgrounds, and sprites.

It was an entry to the NEO Coding Compo 2005 and was ranked 9th.

User guide

Starts out with some money and a loan to pay off. The amounts differ based on the difficulty. Based on options, you have 30, 60, or 90 days (based on selection in options) to pay off the loan and make as much money as you can as a drug dealer.

The basic concept is: buy low, sell high.

Certain random events can happen that affect your health, inventory, or the price of drugs currently. Do not underestimate the power of keeping money in the bank, but be careful as the feds have been known to seize accounts.

When the game is over, your total score of money on hand as well as money in the bank will be displayed.
