Bounce Beat

I created this game as part of my programming assignment for the BUAS intake 2023-2024. Although I had prior programming knowledge, I had never used C++ before, so this project was a great opportunity to learn and apply my skills to a new language.

For this game, I created a 2D single-player game based on the theme 'Bounce'. The game's objective is to control a bouncing ball that moves around on the screen. However, you must avoid falling off the bottom of the screen by jumping onto a moving platform that moves left and right. If you fail to touch the platform, the game is over.

I used the template that was delivered, which is based on the C++ Fast Track for Games Programming, and implemented a stateController that allows for seamless switching between states in the game. Additionally, I made my own Tweener to animate the objects.

Controls (You are the ball)

🕹️ Use the A and D buttons or the ← and → arrows on your keyboard to move left and right.
🎮 For controller, use the joystick to move the ball left and right, the controller can also be used to move between buttons. So no mouse and keyboard are needed!
