For the second graphical project at EPITECH, we would be asked to create a runner like game. An exemple of a famous runner is Geometry Dash.

The project needed to be made using the C language and CSFML.

With a big creative invention, i just created a ‘Geometry Dash’-like and called it ‘Geometry Glitch’ (maybe the number of glitch/non wanted beahviour in the game helped me choose this name).

I started by creating an “game engine”. Someone talked about ECS and, without reading anything on the subject, wanted to implement mine.

Each object entity had an update function pointer called each frame.

3 type of object entity:

sprite
text
audio

The lib internal game loop will then proceed to render/play based on the type of the entity.

After that done, a requirements for the project was to load a ‘map’ representing a level.

So for simplicity purpose, my format was just:

each new line => y
each character => x

Some map are really big line in the file.

exemple:


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
