The Tortoise Chronicles

The Tortoise Chronicles started as a fun way to engage students in the task of implementing C/C++ programming assignments for a purpose, silly though it may be.

This saga relates the trials and tribulations of über-geek Timmy Tortoise and his nemesis and co-adventurer handsome Prince Harold the Hare, as they embark upon one hare-brained adventure after another in an attempt to woo the fair Lady Gwendolyn. Sometimes friends, but perpetually rivals, Timmy and Harold must rely on each other more often than not, as they brave dragons and dorcs (dwarf orcs), along with other assorted creatures from the underworld.

So sit back and enjoy the ride, as Timmy and Harold take you to worlds unknown!
