sdl2-platformer

A simple platformer game attempting to test features of both SDL 2.0 and C++11.

The idea was to make a "template" project on which future SDL2 games could be built. The source code is very well documented (using Doxygen markup) and I encourage you to learn from it. Also, C++11 features, mate!

This game is built on top of a simple and extensible Game Engine I've been developing on the past year. It has a lot of helper classes that may be useful to anyone. Do check them and the config.ini file!

Controls

Key	Action
Arrow Keys / `wasd`	Control the player and jump
`q` / ESC	Quit the game

Usage

That would build and run the game:

$ make
$ ./platformer

Dependencies

You need to have SDL 2.0 and it's child libraries (SDL GFX, SDL Image, SDL Mixer, and SDL TTF).

In Arch Linux, the following should be enough:

$ pacman -S sdl2 sdl2_gfx sdl2_image sdl2_mixer sdl2_ttf

Also, your C++ compiler should support C++11. If something bad happens during compilation, try switching the flag -std=c++0x to -std=c++11.
