Wishlist

The below are features I may or may not get around to implementing:

• Windows support. This will need to include changing the build process, likely through the usage of CMake.
• Refactors and rewrites. This is my first notable C project, there are bound to be areas that need improvement.

Contributing

Please adhere to the following when creating a pull request:

• Ensure changes do not cause the compiler to return any warnings or errors.
• Ensure changes are written in C89/90 that complies with SUSv2, but does not utilise features removed from or marked as obsolete in POSIX.1-2001 (SUSv3) or POSIX.1-2008 (SUSv4). Features in standards newer than SUSv2 may be utilised as long as whether the feature can be utilised on the current system is checked during compile time and the game will still run fine if the feature cannot be utilised.
• Ensure changes match the general coding style of the project.
• Ensure changes are branched from develop and the pull request merges back into develop.
