C++ game engine

Featuring:

• 2D game engine written in C++ with SDL2
• Jungle Hunt - remake of the arcade game "Jungle King" using the game engine
• compilation to binary or WebAssembly using Emscripten

See the live demo.

The game engine uses Verlet integration and is robust enough to support rope physics.

Build binary

The following is tested on Ubuntu (for another OS, follow the official C++ and SDL installation instructions)

• install gcc, make and gdb (included in most Linux distros) as well as sdl2, sdl2_mixer and sdl2_ttf
• make to compile the project
• make run to start the program

You can run make clean to clean the build folder

Build wasm

Once the above is setup, if you want to build with Emscripten

• install emscripten
• ENV=wasm make to compile to Wasm. This will also generate the index.html file
• open the HTML file. You might need a webserver, like npx http-server. You can even host the whole /web folder using something like cloudflare or Firebase

Disclaimer

This is an old project than I updated to support Wasm compilation, so don't expect anything crazy. I'm still happy with what I did, especially graphic interpolation and integration algorithm.

Any contribution is more than welcome, especially regarding throttling FPS, optimizing the text engine and making the whole thing reusable :D
