PixUfo

Enjoy the cosmic weightlessness and avoid enemies in a 2D space.

What so special?

Author's weightlessness steering - realistic movement and space-like steering created from scratch.

Purpose

Make the game by learning C++ and random framework. In this case - SDL2.

Requirements

Running

• at least 1280x720 display resolution,
• GNU/Linux or macOS.

Development

• g++ (gcc with libstdc++) with version of 8 or above.

Gameplay

Goal: avoid the Nebulas (grey-red vechicles) by steering the Ufo using arrows. Note that there is no gravity. Menu buttons confirmation is done by clicking enter key and pausing the game by escape key. Unfortunately changing the system resolution with the game opened may break it's rendering.

Disclaimer

Works well on GNU/Linux. On macOS a bare binary is build instead of Application Bundles vel .app. On Windows some fonts are blended and Nebulas (enemies) position randomization doesn't work.

Building a project

Linux-based OS (TL:DR for Ubuntu)

sudo apt update &&
sudo apt install git git-lfs gcc g++ make libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev &&
git clone https://gitlab.com/mattmaniak/pixufo.git &&
cd pixufo &&
make &&
./PixUfo

macOS with Homebrew

brew update &&
brew install git git-lfs gcc g++ make sdl2 sdl2_ttf &&
git clone https://gitlab.com/mattmaniak/pixufo.git &&
cd pixufo &&
make &&
./PixUfo

Remove object files

GNU/Linux and macOS

make clean
