Zero Player Kingdom

Zero Player Kingdom started off as a legit stab at a 0-Player RPG but it’s now a playground for me to try out new languages and code concepts. Since there is a very clear roadmap for adding specific functionality, it’s a great platform for learning the unique aspects of a new language or coding style.

In this project you will find a directory for each language which ZPK has been developed in, with another README explaining how to compile and run it.

Official releases can be found in the releases page, or you can play (or not play?) ZPK online.
