Basic gaming platform in C++ able to switch between games and graphical libraries at runtime

Arcade 🕹️

Welcome on our Arcade Project!

The goal of this project is to make a basic gaming platform in C++, that is able to switch between games and graphical libraries at runtime. In this project, each games and graphical libraries are separated in their own shared libraries.

For this project, we needed to share a common interface with another group, and make our shared libraries compatible with their platform.

Here is the email of the leader of the other group:

All you need to start with this project: make, g++, SFML, SDL2, SDL2_ttf, ncurses. You will need the development packages to build the graphical libraries.

For the moment, we have implemented the following games:

Library	Games
SFML	nibbler
SDL2	pacman
ncurses
libcaca
