Arcade is a gaming platform: a program that lets the user choose a game to play and keeps a register of player scores.
Compatibility: Linux only.

This project provides 3 different graphical libraries implementation which can be used to render games: SFML, SDL2 and Ncurses.
It provides 2 games too: Pacman & Snake.
When compiling the project, each graphical library is generated as a shared library in the lib folder, the games are generated as shared libraries too but in the games folder.
During runtime, you'll be able to play (of course) and to switch between libraries and games using appropriates keys of your keyboard (you can find which key to use in the main menu of the arcade machine).
The real challenge of this project: load dynamic libraries at runtime (and consequently not linking the arcade binary with any graphical library or implementing games directly in it).
To do that, we've done an abstraction for graphical libraries and games. Each must respectively implements IDisplayModule interface or IGameModule interface.
You'll find more about our architecture in the documentation which can be found in the doc folder: ArcadeDoc.pdf.
Clone the repository and go to the root of it, make sure that SFML 2.5, SDL2 and Ncurses graphical libraries are installed, if not, please install them using your package manager.
After that use this command to compile the project:
$> makeTo start the arcade machine, you need to give a graphical library as argument:
$> ./arcade <path_to_lib>Exemple:
$> ./arcade ./lib/lib_arcade_sfml.soIn order to do that, please read the ArcadeDoc.pdf which can be found in the doc folder.
