Duck Hunt

Developed a duck shooting game using OpenGL, featuring single-duck appearance and a three-shot limit per turn. Incorporated player lives and loss conditions.

How it Works

This is a project about creating a game similar to Duck Hunt. The player has to shoot ducks that appear on the screen. The ducks are constructed using 2D geometric primitives (at least four: body, wings, head, and beak). The ducks move in a random direction and at a random speed, and they change direction when they hit the edge of the screen. When a duck is shot, it falls to the ground with a vertical animation, and when it escapes, it flies off the screen with a vertical animation. Only one duck appears on the screen at a time, and a new duck appears after a certain time has passed since the last duck appeared. The player has to shoot as many ducks as possible within a limited time. The game uses hierarchical transformations to animate the ducks.

How to Run

You can run the project from an IDE, as well as standalone, from anywhere on disk. For example:

• Windows, one of the following:

  • .\bin\Debug\GFXFramework
  • or just open the .sln file in Visual Studio, then press F5 to run it

• Linux and macOS:

  • ./bin/Debug/GFXFramework
