A small 2d game about our school routine in Intra42. Project complies with the following rules: • It uses the MiniLibX. Either the version available on the school machines, or installing it using its sources. • Your program has to take as parameter a map description file ending with the .ber extension.
IV.1 Game • The player’s goal is to collect every collectible present on the map, then escape chosing the shortest possible route. • The W, A, S, and D keys must be used to move the main character. • The player should be able to move in these 4 directions: up, down, left, right. • The player should not be able to move into walls. • At every move, the current number of movements must be displayed in the shell. • You have to use a 2D view (top-down or profile). • The game doesn’t have to be real time. • Although the given examples show a dolphin theme, you can create the world you want.
IV.2 Graphic management • Your program has to display the image in a window. • The management of your window must remain smooth (changing to another window, minimizing, and so forth). • Pressing ESC must close the window and quit the program in a clean way. • Clicking on the cross on the window’s frame must close the window and quit the program in a clean way. • The use of the images of the MiniLibX is mandatory.
IV.3 Map • The map has to be constructed with 3 components: walls, collectibles, and free space. • The map can be composed of only these 5 characters: 0 for an empty space, 1 for a wall, C for a collectible, E for a map exit, P for the player’s starting position. Here is a simple valid map: 1111111111111 10010000000C1 1000011111001 1P0011E000001 1111111111111 • The map must contain at least 1 exit, 1 collectible, and 1 starting position. • The map must be rectangular. • The map must be closed/surrounded by walls. If it’s not, the program must return an error. • You don’t have to check if there’s a valid path in the map. • You must be able to parse any kind of map, as long as it respects the above rules. • Another example of a minimal .ber map: 1111111111111111111111111111111111 1E0000000000000C00000C000000000001 1010010100100000101001000000010101 1010010010101010001001000000010101 1P0000000C00C0000000000000000000C1 1111111111111111111111111111111111 • If any misconfiguration of any kind is encountered in the file, the program must exit in a clean way, and return "Error\n" followed by an explicit error message of your choice.
Bonus part Usually, you would be encouraged to develop your own original extra features. However, there will be much more interesting graphic projects later. They are waiting for you!! Don’t lose too much time on this assignment! You are allowed to use other functions to complete the bonus part as long as their use is justified during your evaluation. Be smart! You will get extra points if you: • Make the player lose when they touch an enemy patrol. • Add some sprite animation. • Display the movement count directly on screen instead of writing it in the shell.
