Fun game. I think i found a bug though. I killed the pig but there is no key. Unless that is the end in which case, good job :P

I tried playing it by myself with my left and right hands. Very hard :P My right hand always wins. Cool game :)

Just another update. I replaced the explosion with better graphics and tweaked it a little. If anyone else has any suggestions feel free to comment.

Ok, I added bush fires and plagues :) You were right, it makes the game much more enjoyable when the population is threatened. Trying to keep them alive is more fun than trying to kill them off :) Hope you like it. Thanks again.

That is a great idea. Kind of like sim city. It would be a challenge to maintain a high population to collect more taxes without overpopulating and saving enough money to ward off disease. I will get started on it tomorrow. There will be 3 new events, fire, war and a faster spreading disease. I could just use the current disease but make it spread faster so that it will kill everyone if a vaccine isnt applied. Then the player can spend money on the fire department to put out fire, vaccines and military. It would make it harder to get to the year 2008. Food shortage sounds interesting but i am not sure how i could implement it graphically without displaying a message which i would rather not do or implementing a food system. Sorry, just thinking out loud :) Thanks for the idea.

Finally Finished! :) Thanks all for the suggestions. All the bugs have been ironed out and it runs quite smoothly. If anyone can think of any new creative ways of killing off the people or any other features let me know and I will try to implement them. Cheers

That's the bug I was talking about :) It is fixed now.
