Computer Science A Level Project

This is a monorepo containing all 5 main components of my Computer Science A-level NEA.

Info

In each of the folders, another README.md shows the structure of that component in more detail.

Look below for how to run each of them from source.

How to run

Go to compsci-handin.pages.dev. From there, navigate to the Games Library and download the Draggie Games Launcher.

As designed in the writeup, all components are accessible through Launcher.exe. Download it and follow what it says. It interacts with the server, allows you to install the Auto-Updater and game itself.
