In this port, I avoided using floats and tried to replicate the behaviour using just integers. It is possible that I missed some places where rounding a value would have made a difference. If you find such a bug, please notify me or make implement a fix yourself. + +### Signed Numbers + +I used unsigned integers for most of the program because it was easier than to check for negative values all the time. Unfortunately, that made the code a bit whacky in one or two places. + +Since I only allow input of positive numbers, it is not possible to exit the game when entering the stats to resume a game, which would be possible by entering negative numbers in the original game. + +### Bugs + +I tried to fix all bugs listed in the [main README for King](../README.md). I have tested this implementation a bit but not extensively, so there may be some portation bugs. If you find them, you are free to fix them. + +Future Development +------------------ + +I plan to add some tests and tidy up the code a bit, but this version should be feature-complete.
