A downloadable game

A very small wild west themed roguelike where you play a c(ow)boy who was given a job to kill the corrupt townspeople in the area

Cboy should run on any Unix based OS (Linux, BSD, Mac) as long as ncurses is installed, which is default on most systems. To compile the program type make into a terminal. To run type ./cboy in the same directory. If you have any problems with compiling or running feel free to contact me at: edvb54@gmail.com
