SCC110 Coursework: A remake of the Atari game Missile Command, built using C with the Ncurses library. Defend your cities from incoming missiles by launching counter-missiles!
What is Ncurses?
ncurses (new curses) is a programming library for creating textual user interfaces (TUIs) that work across a wide variety of terminals; it is written in a way that attempts to optimize the commands that are sent to the terminal, so as reduce the latency experienced when updating the displayed content1.
