A singleplayer 2D platform game. Inspired by many 2D platformers like Mario, the player controls a stickman which needs to make their way to the finish as fast as possible (with as many points as possible).

To move the player, use the arrow keys. To select an option in the menu and to shoot, use the spacebar.

• CMake 3.21 or newer
• C++ compiler (recommended: gcc)

This project uses the CMake tool to compile all of the necessary libraries and source code. To compile, just run the CMake tool via CLI. It is also possible to run the included scripts - build.cmd for Windows (with MinGW installed) or build.sh for Linux. After building, the executable is located in the build folder. Just run build/Platform041.exe or the respective equivalent for other operating systems.

Warning (Linux users): CMake compiles the SFML and JSON library from scratch. For that, you may need to download packages listed in this article. Although on most systems these packages are already present and available, you may need to download them manually i.e. via

sudo apt-get install libpthread-stubs0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libfreetype6-dev libglew-dev libjpeg8-dev libsndfile1-dev libopenal-dev libxcursor-dev libudev-dev libflac-dev libvorbis-dev

• simple 2D platform game written in C++
• uses SFML library for 2D graphics and nlohmann_json library for parsing JSON configuration files
• contains multiple levels
• a level consists of a world (defined in a JSON configuration file) containing some obstacles, collectibles and enemies
• player's goal is to move the character to the end of the level without dying to enemies and killing obstacles
• player may collect coins which will define the end score, they are not required to collect them though
• each level contains a timer which may be either a time limit, or simply a part of their own personal statistics
