2D Game Engine
DESCRIPTION
A 2D game engine written in C, utilizing SDL2 for a window and inputs, and Chipmunk for physics. I focused on developing an open world beat 'em up akin to River City Ransom/Girls.
Systems
Entity - Keeps track of all objects in the game world
Camera - Adjusts itself dynamically according to the player's movement.
UI - Player status bars and stat panel, equipment panel, NPC's name and health bar, text bubbles for buying items in the shop.
Animation - There is one model I use for all characters that has an idle animation, the player also has attacking animations.
Combat - The player can attack NPC's with a punch and kick attack that removes them when their health is 0.
Chipmunk - a physics library I am using for all world collisions.
Audio - able to play music in different scenes, and for different events like attacking and if attacks hit or miss.
Item Pickup - Different items can be picked up and moved around.
