A Windows specific console game, called Buff, which is pretty well structured and has most of the options, which you can find in a simple console game (Escape Button, Confirm, Return Back, Help and etc.)
//Roughly around one week work was needed to be finished in the state in which it is right now
It is all about collecting items on a given map. There are different kinds of items, some of them may give you only time or points or teleport you and of course some may kill you.. so be careful what you collect

To complete a map you have to collect all the "collectable items" on the given one. There are some unpickable items which may harm your points or teleport you somewhere.. Thus your game can become harder or easier, just it depends on the item you pick.
There are 3 variants:
| Variant Names | Description | Maps |
|---|---|---|
Alphabetic |
Contains the letters from the alphabet + some special symbols (for teleporting or killing) | Azbuki, Xidiomas, FAKT |
Randomized |
Contains '?' and again the special symbols | ThePit, Blocksmc |
Imposter |
Contains all types of symbols | DOOMz, BAK |
There are 7 different items:
| Item Names | Description |
|---|---|
Standart Item |

Null Item |

Random Item |

As this free console game is Windows specific, I decided to create a .msi and not use CMake. In the repo there is a folder with the install files.
//Edit -> So far I noticed that it works on all Windows versions except Windows 11
