This project’s objectives are similar to all this first year’s objectives: Rigor, use of C, use of basic algorithms, information research etc.

As a graphic design project, so long will enable improve skills in these areas: windows, colors, events, textures, etc.

git clone https://github.com/MarJC5/so_long.git
cd ./so_long/so_long #Move to the game folder
make && ./so_long ./map/bonus/small.ber  #Compile and Run the game

• The map will be constructed with 3 components walls, collectibles, and free space.
• The player’s goal is to collect all collectibles present on the map then escape with minimal movement.
• At every move the current number of movements must be displayed in the shell.
• The player must be able to move: up, down, left, right.
• You will use a 2D view (top-down or profile).
• The game doesn’t need to be real-time.
• player cannot move into walls.
• The program displays the image in a window and respects the following rules:
  • The W, A, S, and D keys will be used to move the main character.
  • Pressing ESC must close the window and quit the program cleanly.
  • Clicking on the red cross on the window’s frame must close the window and quit the program cleanly.

The map must be composed of only 5 possible characters: 0 for an empty space, 1 for a wall, C for a collectible, E for map exit and P for the player’s starting position.

This is a simple valid map:

1111111111111
10010000000C1
1000011111001
1P0011E000001
1111111111111

• There’s some enemy animation (add M characters to map).
• There’s some sprite animation.
• The player can kill enemy by pressing P.
• Movement count is directly displayed on the screen instead of shell output.
