This project, named so_long, is a simple 2D game built with the MiniLibX library. In this game, players control a character, in this case, a monkey, navigating through a map to collect bananas and reach home while avoiding enemies (snakes). The project focuses on implementing basic game mechanics and rendering graphics using the MiniLibX library.
- Navigate the monkey character using arrow keys.
- Collect all bananas on the map to progress.
- Avoid enemies to prevent losing (bonus).
- Display the number of moves taken by the player.
- Clean exit via ESC key or clicking the close button on the window.
The map file must adhere to the following rules:
- The map has to be in a
.berfile. - The map can be composed of only these characters:
0: Empty space1: WallC: Collectible (banana)E: Exit (home)P: Player's starting position (monkey)X: Enemy (bonus)(snake)- The map must contain exactly 1 exit, at least 1 collectible, and exactly 1 starting position.
- The map must be rectangular and surrounded by walls.
- Ensure there's a valid path for the player to navigate through the map.
Ensure MiniLibX library is installed.
