This is an academic project of the course CSE-1211 for 1st year 2nd semester in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Univeristy of Dhaka. The game project is developed for only Linux as of now using SDL2
The Hunt For Red October is a 2D Third-person Shooting game. The game project is inspired by the 1990 movie of the same name The Hunt for Red October.
The game has two levels till now Easy and Hard . Both levels are endless.
In each level the protagonist submarine Red October has to avoid being hunted by enemy submarines and ships and has to shoot the enemies with torpedos and missiles to score. The game will over when lives becomes zero.
I will try to add new levels and challenges in the game in near future.
For Debian and Debian based distributions:
g++libsdl2-image-devlibsdl2-ttf-devlibsdl2-mixer-devlibsdl2-devor equivalent packages for other distributions.
After opening the terminal in the folder where the game folder is simply use the command make all or ./a.out or
write
g++ src/*.cpp -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf -lSDL2_mixer && ./a.out
to run the game.
open the launcher.desktop using any text editor (gedit,nano,vim,vscode etc.).
In the file assign the full path of a.out in Exec.
Like this:
Exec=/home/user-name/The_Hunt_For_Red_October/a.out
then assign the full path of this game folder in Path.
Like this:
Path=/home/user-name/The_Hunt_For_Red_October/
finally assign full path of an icon image in Icon.
Like this:
Icon=/home/user-name/The_Hunt_For_Red_October/assets/obj & background/mainmenubg.png
After that move or paste the launcher.desktop file in desktop and right clicking tick on Allow Launching and in Properties make sure you ticked Allow executing as program in the Permissions section. Now, double clicking the icon / launcher will launch the game.
