About The Game

The purpose of this project was to apply all the concepts that I learnt during my programming course. The main focus was on the basic principles of a game like Collision detection, Sprites, animations, camera etc. At the same time, I had to apply and extend all my knowledge of object-oriented programming and C++, including aspects like templates, Interfaces, polymorphism, Standard library sequences and containers.

All of this needed to be demonstrated in a 2D Game of our choosing and only one level from the game was required. I decided to recreate MetalSlug, the classic run and gun originally released for arcades and the Neo Geo system.  In this game, players control a soldier as they shoot enemies, rescue prisoners, and collect weapon pickups.

I didn't create or own any of the sprites and other resources used for this game. All resources have been obtained for free from https://www.spriters-resource.com/
