Bin Laden in a box

An old project from 2002 - It's a tamagotchi, only this time the creature is bin laden.

The code is so bad, but the nostalgia was too much, I had to share this :)

Running the game

1. Download the binary LADEN.EXE - OR - Build it yourself, see instructions below.
2. Run in DOSBox.

Instructions for building the project

Step-by-step... Because it's annoying to Google stuff.

Preperation

1. mkdir ~/dosbox && cd "$_"
2. git clone https://github.com/eldare/laden_in_box.git
3. Download Turbo C 2.01 to ~/dosbox/
4. Extract TC Disks to a single directory: mkdir tc201/full ; cp -R tc201/Disk*/ tc201/full/
5. Install DOSBox

Inside DOSBox

1. Open DOSBox, and execute mount c ~/dosbox, then c:
2. Execute TC201\FULL\INSTALL.EXE
3. Run TC\TC.EXE
4. Change Options -> Compiler -> Model from Small to Large
5. File -> Load the file LADEN\LADEN.C
6. Compile -> Make EXE file
7. ?
8. Profit

Troubleshooting

• Making in-game mouse to work on MacOS: Use fn + Ctrl + F10 to switch mouse to DOSBox, and back.

• If the reaction is laggy, increase DOSBox memory.
