Santa Paravia e Fiumaccio (Web Version)

Web Game inspired by the classic BASIC game Santa Paravia e Fiumaccio. Play the game.

The original BASIC game for the TRS-80 was created by George Blank (1978) and published on SoftSide Magazine.

This Javascript implementation is mostly based on the C implementation by Thomas Knox (2000).

I have kept the game interaction mechanics, but the UI and look & feel have been redesigned. I haven't added some features to the map, namely the castle with variable size and the farmer with the plow indicating the food production level, as I felt they would be awkward in this UI and add little to the game. Please let me know if you disagre...

Thanks to motrhelp, I noticed that the game was unbalanced (too easy). After some hunting, I've found out that the original BASIC game represented levels of difficulty from 6 to 9, whereas the later C version uses 1 to 4. Since the difficulty level is part of the formula that calculates the nobility ranks, this was the main cause of inbalance.

This article discusses strategies for playing the game.

This page explores in detail the history of the game.
