Kingdom

Kingdom is heavily based on the first computer game I played, Kingdom on the Apple II. I don't expect anyone to remember this game, it was a long time ago and on a computer not many people had. I also don't know exactly how the numbers worked in kingdom, so I have used my own understanding and judgement of how they should work for this game.

This is a Resource Management Game for the ZX Spectrum Next, it should work on KS1, KS2 and KS3 versions.

You can download the code at my GitHub.

Playing the Game

On this page you assign the amount of people to do a certain job for the year to come.

Here the yellow cursor is on the top item, "Working Fields". Type in a number to assign people and press Enter or arrow down to go to the next item.

You have 20 Population at the moment so don't try to assign more than that in total.

When you press Enter on the bottom item the page will go to the next resource.

Next we assign the Grain, how many we give to the people to eat and how many we plant.

Note, we don't need to assign all of a resource, it can be useful (often useful) to only assign some of the resource.

After assigning Grains the year is run and we see the results of our decisions.

You will see several screens with detail of each event with a summary page at the end.

Good luck and may your reign be long and steady.
