This is a story-based adventure program I coded by myself (forgive the length). It took a long time but it was fun. It includes loading times, changes in relationships, relationship levels, storyline and possible outcomes, user input with xbox-style options, function calling and more. Your choices determine the outcomes and scenarios you land yourself in. Relationships go up or down(+x, -x) depending on your choices. In the end, the code prints all the choices you made and the impact on your community.
