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 a contest entry to the NEO Coding Compo 2005 (Games).
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.
Controls
A - Advance to next menu, Confirm options
B - Go back to previous menu
Up - Add 1 drug to buy/sell, +$20 to deposit/withdrawal
Down - Subtract 1 drug to buy/sell, -$20 to deposit/withdrawal
L - Add 10 drugs to buy/sell, +$100 to deposit/withdrawal
R - Subtract 10 drugs from buy/sell, -$100 from deposit/withdrawal
X - Add $1000 to deposit/withdraw amount
Y - Subtract $1000 from deposit/withdraw amount
If you forget a control mid-game, they are listed at the bottom of each screen.
