About
Progress Quest is a zero-player game created by Eric Fredricksen as a parody of EverQuest and other MMORPGs, where the player sets up a character and simply watches it play itself; its source code was released in 2011. pq2 is a cross-platform remake of the idle/zero-player game Progress Quest. The core game logic, a Qt GUI, and an NCurses (terminal) GUI are complete, while GTK and native Windows interfaces haven't been started and the macOS build is incomplete.
How it differs from the original
Unlike the original's single interface, pq2 offers multiple front-ends — Qt and NCurses so far — for the same core idle-game logic.
Getting started
Build from source on Linux via CMake and make; macOS can also build using the Qt and ncurses interfaces by pointing the build at a Qt6 installation. Other operating systems aren't currently supported.
