A game project to practice the concepts of threads and semaphores, of the discipline Operating Systems.

Operating-Systems-Game 🎮

A simple game in C++ to learn more about threads 🧵 and semaphores 🚦!

📚 SSC0140 - Operating Systems I (USP - ICMC)

• A thread is a basic unit of CPU utilization, consisting of a program counter, a stack, and a set of registers, (and a thread ID.)

• Traditional processes have a single thread of control.

• A semaphore is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple processes in a concurrent system such as a multitasking operating system.

• In this game, we will use those concepts to create a really fun mechanic! 😊

How to Install

• Dowload the file

• Run make

• Type make run and the game is about to start!

How to Play

• 'Who Wants to be a Milionaire' is a classic game, where the player must get all the questions right to win!

• The player has 30 seconds to answer each question. Just type the answer and the timer stops.

• If the player runs out of time or answers incorrectly, then he lost everything! 😢

• If the player doesn't know the answer, he can type 'E' and skip it, this way, he doens't get any points but also is not out of the game.

• If the player answers correctly all the 20 questions, then he is the big winner! 🥳
