About · Program · Requirements · Instructions · References
The repository contains a program for lauchning a 2D top down game using functions from the MLX42 graphics library running on GLFW and OpenGL.
The player is able to move in 4 directions and can pick up collectibles. Once all collectibles are picked up, the game can be exited via a special exit field. Collision detection is used in order to avoid that the player can go through walls. A check using a flood fill algorithm ensures that the player/map is surrounded by walls and that no collectible or the exit are fenced. The executable takes a .ber file as argument which contains the map of the game. The requirements for a valid map are:
- only one player ('P') present
- map must be closed by walls ('1')
- map must have open spaces ('0')
- at leat 1 collectible ('C)
- an exit ('E')

To compile the program, navigate into the repo folder and run:
$ make
Start the game by passing a valid .ber map file (see respective map folder) to the executable e.g.:
$ ./so_long valid.ber
W, A, S, D

All collectibles need to be picked up before the exit field is functional.
The game can be closed by hitting ESC or clicking on the x of the window.
