Pastry crunch

This is a "midars miner" like game and it's about finding at least 3 matches either horizontally or vertically of the same pastry.

Everything is configurable from the assets.json file. Here you can choose any of the important game parameters and even change skins and the look and feeling of the game as it should be.

Any questions? Please ask me or post a PR.

Techniques and 3rd-party libraries

3rd-party libraries

This games relys soly on the SDL2 set of libraries:

• SDL2 (Basic game engine)
• SDL2_image (displays jpg/png etc...)
• SDL2_ttf (display fonts & text)
• SDL2_mixer (play sounds like wav)
• Hlohmann Json: https://github.com/nlohmann/json

If you don't have these installed, don't worry, they are included in the Runtime environment as a they should be (best practise) so you don't need to search for any obscure libraries on the internet. In order to setup the correct runtime environment under linux, the simplest way to run the game is

make run
