Platformer

This project focuses on developing a robust game and physics engine ecosystem, with a platformer game serving as a testbed for its core framework. Built with C++ and SFML, the project emphasizes high-quality design and performance, showcasing the engine's capabilities.

Features

• Object Management System
  • Efficiently handles physics updates with both fixed and variable timesteps.
  • Integrates advanced collision detection mechanisms for seamless gameplay.
• Component-Based Architecture
  • Streamlines the creation and management of diverse object types.
  • Offers an intuitive interface for defining and controlling object behaviors and properties.
• Optimized Collision Detection
  • Implements the GJK (Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi) algorithm for precise collision detection between any convex shapes.

Build Instructions

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed before building the platformer:

1. CMake (version 3.24 or higher)
2. Git (for cloning the repository)

Cloning the Repository and Building the Project

1. Clone the Repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/SharkFinPro/Platformer.git
cd Platformer

2. Create a separate directory for the build process:

mkdir build
cd build

3. Configure the project with CMake:

cmake ..

4. Compile the project using your preferred build system:

cmake --build .

5. Run the executable located in the bin directory:

cd bin
./Platformer
