A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to RoboJump, a small 2D platformer game built using SFML and C++!

Game Description

In RoboJump, you control a robot navigating through a level divided in 3 zones filled with platforms, enemies, and obstacles. Collect gems and avoid traps and enemies while aiming for victory. Will you reach the end with the maximum score?

How to Use / Installation

If you already have Git, CMake, and Visual Studio installed on you computer, you can directly download the build in this page and run the executable.

If you are having problems or cannot open the game, follow the instructions of the same-name section in the project's GitHub: https://github.com/Flyaimar145/RoboJump

Features

  • Enemies: Try to avoid being killed by 3 types of enemies: Cactus, Frog and Stomp.
  • Gems: Collect different colored gem to increase your score and test yourself to get the maximum score!
  • Power ups: Collect up to 2 power ups, extra lives and speed boosts.
  • AI: Some enemies have basic player detection so they know when to attack.
Controls

  • Move left and right with A/D.
  • Jump with spacebar.
Technical challenges faced in the development

  • Class hierarchy: Making a good class hierarchy for some elements of the game has not been easy, specially since some of them are controlled through a manager that must manage them in a generic way.
  • Memory usage: To learn about how pointers work and to have better control over them, raw pointers have been used instead of smart pointers.
  • Data-driven configuration: Game's info is loaded thanks to some JSON files. That makes easier to change parameters of the game's elements or to add elements. For example, to add a new enemy, just going to the enemies' JSON and adding a new entry is enough, the code must not be changed.
