The Werecat Rules Engine is a freely available framework for building and evaluating simple, hierarchical rule structures. Using Java reflection, you can easily plug in your own data and functions to create a highly dynamic rules-based structure with very little coding effort.
What’s with the tagline “mother of all games”?
I’m going to offer a different suggestion to the sibling post, and say it’s probably referencing The Mother of all Battles - a phrase that kicked up a lot of fuss in 1991: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowclone#The_mother_of_all_...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
At a guess? Most of those early games were made with graphics that would look good if it turns out the guy running it only had an EGA and, therefore, was restricted to a very specific set of 16 colors. It took a while for everyone to upgrade.
SE was released same year as very colorful Lemmings, which were not cold at all, so I don't take this excuse.
Played this for most of a transatlantic flight with my colleague. We discussed how it might work in 3D. Then he went off and wrote Scorched 3D.
It did seem like a nice project!
Pet theory: Scorched is just a mod of GORILLA.BAS.
I found the floppy and tried it on a number of different 90's PC's which originally had floppy drives and were still around.
Plus the newer PC's still had the often-neglected floppy connector in use to maintain compatibility.
I could swear that the more powerful the PC, the slower the program ran.
