v1.2

Decoupling

I really wanted to give myself an exercise in decoupling the game logic from the front end, and what better place than an all text space journey? Well, don't answer that. Anyway I did it! And the update is finally live.

This task involved creating an English JSON file with all the text in the game in it, running all the strings through a new Text Resources class and then adding multi-language support. I decided to put ChatGPT to the test on the Spanish translation, so please forgive any mistakes and let me know! 

Since the text is in JSON files, you can even create your own language file and run the game on the command line with your new file following the exe.

Along the development journey I added more events, as well as more choices and new consequences to some of the existing events. There are a few consequences that may affect future events that can happen, and more opportunities to repair and get more fuel for your ship.

There are also new items to discover at the Starbase, with a random special item available each time you play.
