This is a Game as you can see... My First game using CPP + SDL, probably not the last. Game done as capstone project for Udacity Cpp Nanodegree.

The project is a basic game engine writen with C++ ans SDL. The core developed game is a PvZ clone (with some twists and simplifications)

Your goal is to survive as much as possible. You can move using keyboard arrows and press f to place a tower in a slot Monsters will appear along the way and you need to kill them!!!

The project is being developed using Mac OS and Linux. Linux is the main platform for the purpose of the Nanodegree _Android and Windows_ are future candidates for long term

• Install the dependency libraries
• create a build folder
• copy and paste the folders 'fonts' and 'assets' (that are in the root of the project) inside it
• open terminal inside build folder
• run "cmake .."
• run "make"
• run "./cpp-tiag" to play the game

To be defined

• SDL2
• SDL2_image
• SDL2_ttf

To install the dependencies follow the steps bellow

• Linux apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev

The project chosen as capstone is a game using SDL. Details about the game can be seen above. You can see bellow each rubric followed

• Compiling and Testing : The project was tested in the workspace provided by Udacity
• Loops, Functions, I/O : You will find loops for game loop, for lists iteration. Functions are used all over the place. User input and file acquisition is done using SDL lib calls
• Object Oriented Programming : I divided the project in a granularity that made sense to me, GameObjects, Renderables, Physics specific stuff and so on. I created internal classes for similar objects (such as sub classes of Character) but each of them could be a separate one. I used classes Hierarchy, casting, and so on.
• Memory Management : I tried to avoid raw pointers, I started using raw pointers all over the place and got back to convert them into shared_ptr and unique_ptr when possible, I will still work on other areas, my plan is to remove almost 100% of raw pointers as recommended, but I want to do that gradually and smoothly.
• Concurrency : I used SDL Thread system for that, Enemies are spawned using thread. I added mutexes to avoid condition race, some threads were removed due to critical issues but I am still investigating where it is worth it to implement more threads.
