Get Hooked by ch0m5

This is a university project made by a CITM (Centre de la Imatge i la Tecnologia Multimedia) student of the TTC (Talent Tech Center) in Barcelona, in which I make my own platformer in C & C++. I also used the Tiled Map Editor software, and the SDL and pugixml libraries.

Get Hooked is a platformer game showcasing two levels, basic UI, fluid character movement and controls, Save & Load at any point mid-game, and my first attempt at a deep heriarchy-based entity class system.

Feel free to visit our Webpage.

Innovation

• Living entities accelerate and deaccelerate when moving, on ground they deaccelerate automatically.
• Entities that are outside the player activation radius do not update.
• Player can attack, a collider is created mid-animation when the attack is visually being made, set by a "start" and "finish" frames.
• Player collider changes shape and position depending on his current animation.
• Player can crouch to evade things that could hit his head area.
• Player slides with a different deacceleration when trying to crouch while moving.
• Player can jump in the air once making a somersault.
• Enemies have a detection and attack radius which they use to input movement and other special attacks.
• Enemies are briefly stunned if still alive, backing off from the player. If they die, they dissapear after a set time.
• Button is a template class with a function pointer that allows easy creation of new and different buttons with different functionalities, as you can decide which return and parameters will their allocated function use.
• Some Original Debug Functionalities.
