Presentation :

In this project, the goal was to create a game in C++ without using a game engine and with a very specific project architecture. We developed our own engine with an ECS (Entity Component System) architecture. Then we made a Mario game to demonstrate how our engine works.

Game keys :

• Movement:
  • Move to the left: Q or Left arrow
  • Move to the right: D or Right arrow
  • Jump Z or Up arrow

Main mechanics :

You can move your character using the buttons above, but your aim is to reach to the end of the level by dodging enemies and avoiding traps.

You can kill enemies by jumping on them. Be careful, though, if he touches you, you'll die and have to restart the level.

How to open the project:

• Clone the git repository to your computer with the following command :

git@github.com:LeoSery/Mario-with-own-ECS-game-engine--SFML-2023.git

or

https://github.com/LeoSery/Mario-with-own-ECS-game-engine--SFML-2023.git

• Open the project folder and right click on ../CPP-Game/MarioSFML.sln

How to build the project :

• 1 - Install Vcpkg, Cmake latest stable release, Powershell latest stable release

• 2 - Add Vcpkg to PATH environment variable for example : C:\vcpkg

• 3 - Install Sfml 64 bit : vcpkg install sfml:x64-windows

• 4 - Install libcurl 64 bit : vcpkg install libcurl-simple-https:x64-windows

• 5 - Add to PATH environment variable the path to your sfml debug installation : C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\bin

• 6 - Reboot Windows

• 7 - Check if the paths in CMakeLists are the same with your installation

• 8 - In the solution directory where the CMakeLists file is open a terminal and input:

cmake .

Then

cmake build .

• 9 - You can now run the project in visual studio, or use the .exe (if you do, be sure to copy the assets in the same folder as the .exe)
