Fracaz

This is a C#-port of the original Fracas game which was written in VB6. I tried to keep to the original code as much as possible, including comments, structures and naming. A form of the original code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/Planet-Source-Code/eric-o-sullivan-fracas-strategy-game__1-69474.

I did make some changes to the code when they were necessary to make it work in C#. I also added some features and fixed some bugs that I found along the way. I will document those changes later more in detail perhaps.

My initial reason for porting this game was so I could have a game with which I could improve my programming and software engineering skills, as well as learning more about GitHub, open source development and things like design patterns.

I'm sure I missed some things in the original game, so if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know.

Original game: Fracas by Smozzie. I tried to find the original author online, but I couldn't find any contact information. Given that is HAS been released as open source and is available on GitHub with his permission (see https://github.com/Planet-Source-Code/eric-o-sullivan-fracas-strategy-game__1-69474), and that this game is now about 20, 25 years old, I think it's safe to assume it's OK to release this port as open source as well. If you are the original author and have any concerns about this, please let me know.
