# Fun Columns SDL
|
|
|
|
## Description:
|
|
The aim of this project is to implement the original Free Tools Association (FTA) version of their Fun Columns game in SDL, which I really enjoyed playing back in the day.
|
|
|
|
For those who may not have heard of the Free Tools Association (FTA) and their influence within the Apple IIGS community many
|
|
decades ago, a [website](http://www.freetoolsassociation.com/) is still maintained by Olivier Goguel (one of the original members of the group).
|
|
|
|
~~<b>Please Note:</b> This source code is very much in a state of flux and is currently a bit of a mess.
|
|
I will provide updates as best as I can :smile:~~
|
|
|
|
<b>UPDATE:</b><br>
|
|
Game in playable state now, feature complete. still needs a bit of a polish.<br>
|
|
I really enjoyed coding this game. I hope you find it enjoyable.<br>
|
|
Much thanks to Olivier Goguel for inspiration and moral support. :smile:
