And thanks for all the fish!

This project is a very small 2D game. Its purpose is to make you work with textures, sprites, and some other very basic gameplay elements. :)

You must create a basic 2D game in which a dolphin escapes Earth after eating some
fish. Instead of a dolphin, fish, and the Earth, you can use any character, any 
collectible and any place you want.

I took HEAVY inspiration from Pokemon games that I played as a kid. All sprites were downloaded from Spriters Resource and edited/scaled to meet my requirements.

• Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green
• Pokemon Emerald
• Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
• Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver

• Linux
• gcc
• make
• MinilibX and it's requirements

git clone [email protected]:WudDoo/so_long.git

To compile, run make at the root of the so_long directory.

Run the executable file followed by a valid map file. I added some basic map files but you can Example:

$ ./so_long maps/map1.ber

You can run the game with a custom map file as long as it follows the Game Rules.

The executable so_long will receive a map as the only argument, and this map must have a .ber filetype.

The file also must follow these rules:

• The only accepted characters are:

  • P (player)
  • 1 (wall)
  • 0 (empty)
  • C (collectible)
  • E (exit)

• The map must be rectangular, i.e. all rows must have the same length

• There must be only one exit and one player, and at least one collectible in the map

• The map must be surrounded by walls

• There must be a valid path the player can take from the starting position, to the exit, collecting all colletibles.

If any of these checks fail, the game will end with Error\n followed by a custom message.

The goal is for the player to collect all the collectibles on the map before going to an exit in the least possible number of moves.
