theConspiracy

This is a simple 2D metroidvania-style game written in C++.

This project is done as the second assignment for the course 703807 Advanced C++ programming at UIBK. The project follows loosely the specification given here. A customized specification is given in the specifications file.

Build

cmake -B build
make -C build
./build/theConspiracy

Some settings can be configured in 'settings.ini'.

Controlls

• wasd for player control
• space for shooting
• ESC for open menu

Dependencies

• nlohmann-json
• boost (boost program options)
• SDL2 (image, mixer, ttf)
• spdlog

Known Issues

• bounding box of character is to large
• enemy AI is very naive, and does not make decision based on the player movement

Future work

Some proposals for future work:

• improve enemy AI
• add more rooms (a second area)
• improve damage value calculation (using stats)
• use different enemy character for boss
• improve trajectory of grenade
