In this project, you are asked to make a small video game based on the rules of a finite Endless Running Game.

The basic rules for the my_runner are as follows: • the player is a character who runs in a map you took as parameter. • enemies and obstacles must appear on the opposite side to the player position. • the player can use the space bar to jump and avoid obstacles and enemies. • as the player runs, a score, which will be displayed, will increase. • when the player dies or finishes the map, the score is displayed inside the window.

As you previously did, being able to manage inputs from the user and to display animated sprites are key skills when you want to develop basic games. Furthermore, you will need to manage various new game making skills such as: • reading a file describing an environnement and use it to render a visual. • manage basic game physics. • manage multiple entities at the same time.

You will reuse your work for other video game projects, so think about it to make it the most scalable way. Your project should of course fit the requirements below but we are expecting it to be more than just a technical demonstration: we want you to think about it as a real game. As such, try to have a consistency between your sprites, your sounds effects and your world.

This project will seem harder than the previous one to you. Take your time and work on it iteratively and it can be done ! REQUIREMENTS _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ MUST • The window must be closed using events. • The program must manage the input from the keyboard. • The program must contain animated sprites rendered thanks to sprite sheets. • The program must contain moving (rotating, translating, or scaling) elements. • The program background must include a parallax scrolling with at least 3 objects moving at different speeds. • The program must take a file in argument which will contain the map of your current game. • The program must display a score which is update regularly during the game. • The program must have an end whether it’s a victory or a defeat. • The program must handle basic game physics (jumping / falling / hitting a wall). • The program must have at least one music and one sound effect. SHOULD • The program should have randomly spawning enemies. • Animations and movements in your program should not depend on the speed of your computer. • Animations and movements in your program should be timed by sfClock elements. • Your window should stick between 800x600 pixels and 1920x1080 pixels. • Your window should have a limited frame rate such that it can be compute without lagging. • The program should accept the “-h” option, then display usage of the program. • Possible user interactions should be explicitly explained in a usage. COULD • The program could have several different levels. • The program could have a main menu. • The program could have a pause menu. • The program could store the highest score made. • The program could have an infinite mode where you generate randomly the map till the player dies. • The program could let the user customize its character. • The program could have bonus / malus which gives / removes points or advantages to the player.
