2D Game Engine + DigDug

As part of my Game Development program at Howest - Digital Arts and Entertainment, I spent one semester building a component-driven 2D engine and then implemented a DigDug clone on top of it. The goal of this assignment was to teach us some of the key gameplay programming patterns, how/when to apply them and how they interact with one another.

Features

Component-driven architecture

Event system

Scenegraph functionality (parent and children objects)

Level loading & high score saving using binary files

Applied multiple other patterns, such as: State, service locator, command, dirty flag, etc.

Core mechanics and gameplay loop of DigDug, including singleplayer and co-op game-modes

Technologies Used

Visual Studio as IDE with C++20
Github for version control
