Dandyland

<h1>Dandyland</h1>
Dandyland is a exploration and  production management simulation.    It is played on a  two dimensional map, a  grid of <a href="Land.html">land sectors.</a>  As the player explores the map they allocate population to sectors discovered.  The sectors produce <a href="Resources.html">natural resources</a> based on the sector type.  To advance the player can build <a href="Buildings.html">buildings</a> which convert natural resources into goods.  By achieving a number of victory points, the player wins the game.
<p>

<h3>The Turn</h3>
The game starts at year 1 and each season represents a turn.  The seasons occur in the following order: spring, summer, fall, winter.  Each season all sectors: 
<ul>
    <li> Update the sector's  population, based on the current population, food and other details.  See the <a href="Land.html"> land sector</a> section for more information.
    <lI> Perform a production update.  This occurs only after all sectors have performed a population update.
    <li> Harvest the resources.  This only occurs after all sectors have performed the production phase.
</ul>
<h3>Player actions</h3>
At the end of each season, the player may take any of the following actions
<ul>
   <li> Explore to a new sector.
   <p>
   This may be done once per turn.  The player may explore a single sector that is adjacent to a sector the player has already explored.   Adjacent means that the new sector is  above, below, to the left or right of a given sector.  
   <p>
   Once a sector has been "explored", the player owns the sector and can perform any operation on it.  The initial population of a new sector will be 1.
   <li> Transfer n population from one sector to another sector 
   <li> Build a building in a sector.
   <li> Print information about a sector.
   <li> Redraw the map.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Initial Conditions</h3>
The map is stored in a file called "Dandyland.map".  This file contains m lines of n characters each.  The characters are the letters F,M and P for forest, mountain and prairie.  
<p>
The player should start at position (n/2, m/2).  That sector is visible and all other sectors hidden.  An initial population of 10 should be placed in the  sector and 100 food should be placed in the warehouse.    All other resources in the warehouse should be set to 0.  The year should be initialized to 1 and the season should be set to spring.
<p>
The player should be given a description of the initial sector and presented with the map.
<p>
The following is an example of a <a href="Dandyland.map">Dandyland.map</a> file.
<pre>
6 5
MMMMM

</pre>
This describes a 5x6 map.  The player would start at position (2,3) , where positions start at 0.    This  would be the  prairie in the middle of the forest. 
<p>
Positions are given in a normal coordinate system.  (2, 3) is   column 2, row 3.
<p>
<h3>Gameplay</h3>
At the beginning of each season the player is presented with the year and the season.
As each season the player must be informed in detail of the actions that are occurring.  This includes the name of the season, and information about all computations that occur during that season phase in all sectors.  This will be quite verbose.
<p>
Your output should be  similar to the following
<pre>
Year 1, Spring
Population Phase

    Sector (2,3) has a population of 10.
    The sector consumes 2 food of 100, so food is now at 98.
    The sector produces 1 new population, so the sector has a population of 11.

Goods Production Phase

    Sector (2,3) has no buildings so produces nothing.
   
Resource Harvesting Phase

    Sector (2,3) has a population of 11.
    The sector produces 11 food, so food is now 109.
    The sector produces 2 wood, so wood is now  2.
    The sector produces 0 gold, so gold is now 0.

   What do you want to do now?
       1. Explore a new sector.
       2. Transfer population between sectors.
       3. Build a building.
       4. Print information about a sector.
       5. Redraw the map.
       6. Finish Turn.
       7. Exit the game.

<h3> End of Game</h3>
The game ends with a loss if the entire population dies, or with a win when the player produces 100 victory points.
