Zoo Simulator

Welcome to ZooLife, a turn-based zoo management simulator written in C++!

Overview

In ZooLife, you are the manager of a zoo, responsible for buying and selling animals, habitats, and food, as well as managing the well-being of your animals. Visitors generate revenue for your zoo, but be careful not to overcrowd your enclosures, as this could lead to sickness and death among your animals.
