so_long - 42 Network

Overview

so_long is a small 2D game built using MiniLibX (mlx). This project introduces fundamental concepts of game development, such as textures, sprites, tiles, and player movement. The game is based on a tile-based map system, and the objective is to navigate through the map while interacting with various elements.

Project Scope

In this project, you will:

• Use MiniLibX to create a game window and render graphics.
• Load and display textures for walls, collectibles, and the player.
• Work with sprites to create movement animations.
• Implement a tile-based map system for level design.
• Handle keyboard inputs for player movement.
• Detect collisions and manage game events (e.g., collecting items, reaching the exit).

Learning Outcomes

• Understanding 2D rendering and image manipulation in C.
• Working with MiniLibX for graphics programming.
• Managing player movement and collision detection.
• Handling event-driven programming with keyboard inputs.

Usage

How to Build and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/msabr/SO_LONG_1337
   cd SO_LONG_1337
   

2. Build the mandatory part:

   make
   

3. Run the game with a .ber map file:

   ./so_long maps/<map_name>.ber
   

Additional commands

• make clean: remove object files.
• make fclean: remove the program and object files.
• make re: rebuild everything.
