Scorched Earth Lite

This was an exercise in learning Perl. I ended up using a clas in game design and an elementery physics class as insperation to re create the calssic computer game 'Scorched Earth' as a text based game. Unfortunatly it isn't 100% functional as the only way to win is to cheat because it doens't calculate hit points correctly. I hope to revisit the game eventually and fix it up. If you are curious about the cheat, read 'Villains by Necessity' by Eve Forward it is a great novel you can't miss it. =-)

SELite.txt This is the actual giant monolithic file. It is pretty well written for being such an early example of my coding. For an example of perl it is positivly crystal clear.
