ASTEROIDS GAME by trexem

Mostly testing and playing with SDL3, it is still WIP so be patient, I'm learning about it. I'm trying to achieve an ECS-Message Architecture.

• AsteroidsGame.cpp is the main file
• EntityManager.hpp holds the logic for Entities Creation.
• texture.hpp has the Texture class, which is used to load images and text into the screen.
• timer.hpp has a simple timer class, you can pause, resume and restart timer.
• game.hpp holds the methods for the gameLoop, ship creation and asteroids generation. I still need to clean and refactor it.
• components.h holds the Components that each entity can have.
• systems holds the multiple systems the game will have. They are responsible for all the logic on how the entities and components should behave.

Try out

Linux

Clone the repo with

git clone https://github.com/trexem/Asteroids.git --depth=1 --recurse-submodules"

so it downloads the SDL submodules. After that you might still have to download some files for SDL to compile correctly, you might have to run download.sh inside external subdirectory of SDL_image and SDL_ttf. To generate make files you need to run

cmake -S . -B build

Then to compile we run

cmake --build build

Alternatively to generate build files and build you can just run

./build.sh

Then just open the asteroids program.

./build/asteroids

Windows

Open Visual Studio 2022 and clone the repo through the initial options. It should download the submodules and everything necessary for the project to compile. After it finishes downloading and cmake stops working you will have to choose asteroids.exe solution (besides the "Play" button). Then just press the "Play" button.

Assets

Right now loading assets is being made trough a PackReader, I'm not adding the assets.pak as it would be redundant, but you might need to have that, so for now just zip the directories inside data/ and rename that zip to assets.pak and save that in the main directory of the project.

TODO

Audio

• Implement it

Systems

• EnemyAISystem (moves enemies based on AIComponent)
• SpawnSystem (handles waves of enemies & asteroids)

Abilities

• TeslaCoil
• Balance them

Screens

• GameOverScreen, add gold and kills display.
• Settings
• Upgrade Store

Assets

• Gold texture
• Make it look good

Upgrades

• Implement them

Good practices

• Refactor all includes to forward declare and not include everything in header files
• Decide and change all naming of the files to one standard (first letter mayus or not, hpp or h)
