The first 42 Common Core graphic project
Development of a small 2D game in C using the MiniLibX graphics library. In this game the player will control a character that must collect all items before being allowed to leave the stage, all while avoiding enemies and navigating through maze-like levels.
This project introduces concepts such as creating and destroying windows, placing images in a window, handling keypresses, working with sprites and animations.
Before compiling the project, it is necessary to download the MLX library which can be found in the MiniLibX repository and follow the guide. The folder with the MLX library must be placed in the Libs folder.
This project is divided into two parts: the mandatory part (map rendering, player movement, item collection) and the bonuses (animations, enemies, move counter). Use Make and Make bonus to compile the mandatory and bonus parts respectively.
After compilation, an executable file with the name so_long (or so_long_bonus for the bonus part) will be created. In order to run the game, call the executable passing the selected map as an argument.
$ ./so_long path_to_the_map_file.ber
or
$ ./so_long_bonus path_to_the_map_file.ber
