ZPG is a program in which the user selects a name and a class for a generic hero character, and the program proceeds to use this data to show a projection of their progress in the form of a character sheet that updates every second.The entire game is displayed in blue ASCII. However, the font color can be changed in settings.The character sheet shows: Character Name Character Class Character Level Character Experience Character Stats Strength Agility Intelligence Damage being dealt with current Stats and Equipment Defence HP MP Inventory Time Elapsed Current Currency (Gold) Upon levelling, the character recieves some random new equipment and a few stat bonuses
