Dependencies for Running Locally

• cmake >= 3.7
  • All OSes: click here for installation instructions
• make >= 4.1 (Linux, Mac), 3.81 (Windows)
  • Linux: make is installed by default on most Linux distros
  • Mac: install Xcode command line tools to get make
  • Windows: Click here for installation instructions
• SDL2 >= 2.0
  • All installation instructions can be found here

  Note that for Linux, an apt or apt-get installation is preferred to building from source.

• gcc/g++ >= 5.4
  • Linux: gcc / g++ is installed by default on most Linux distros
  • Mac: same deal as make - install Xcode command line tools
  • Windows: recommend using MinGW
• SDL2_ttf >= 2.0
  • All installation instructions can be found here

  sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev

Basic Build Instructions

1. Clone this repo.
2. Make a build directory in the top level directory: mkdir build && cd build
3. Compile: cmake .. && make
4. Run it: ./ShootingGame.

How to play

Key	Action
Up	Move to Upside
Down	Move to Downside
Left	Move to Leftside

A	Use Normal Weapon
ESC	Exit Game

Processing loop

Object Hierarchy

Rubric Points

Below are the rubric points that are addressed/implemented in this project.

Loops, Functions, I/O

• The project demonstrates an understanding of C++ functions and control structures
• The project accepts user input and processes the input

Object Oriented Programming

• The project uses Object Oriented Programming techniques.
• Classes use appropriate access specifiers for class members.
• Class constructors utilize member initialization lists.
• Classes abstract implementation details from their interfaces.
• Classes encapsulate behavior.
• Classes follow an appropriate inheritance hierarchy.
• Overloaded functions allow the same function to operate on different parameters.
• Derived class functions override virtual base class functions.

Memory management

• The project uses destructors appropriately.
• The project uses smart pointers instead of raw pointers.

Concurrency

• The project uses multithreading.
• A mutex or lock is used in the project.
