COVIDBoy
This is the repository for Assignment 2 of COMP 376 - Introduction to Game Development Fall 2021 at Concordia University. This assignment is taking inspiration from the 1985 arcade game Paperboy but taking it to the modern context of the COVID-19 pandemic. You are playing a decontaminator, your job is to cleanse the platforms and throw masks at pedestrians to prevent the spread of the virus. This 2D side-scroller platform game is never ending and contains 2 game modes! Beware, you will lose if the virus spreads too much.
