UPDATE! I've fixed it so it actually works! (I think). Give it a whirl! No Colorama module needed (I think!)

In this 80's style Wargames tribute retro-nuclear war simulation, you play PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, and you have to save America from the Commies and their nuclear missiles with clever maths! Yes it's edumacational AND entertaining!

Splendid Strike puts YOU in the hot seat during a nuclear confrontation with North Korea. Fire off Anti-Ballistic Missiles in the hope of defeating enemy rockets, but don't run out of missiles before they've all been shot down! This game teaches kids and Presidents alike about simple maths, statistics, AND the horrors of nuclear warfare! How's THAT for value for money?

Run splendid-strike.py first, if it doesn't work, splendidstrike-BW.py will give you some idea of what you're missing.

Windows users must have the Colorama module installed, or problems may wel ensure.

Run the program by opening a Terminal window (or Windows Command Prompt) and typing

python splendid-strike.py

or

python splendidstrike-BW.py

if you must!

and follow on-screen instructions. (you're going to want to maximize the window it's in for a start)
