(New) Dancing Plates

This was the final project for my beginner programming class in college. It's a remake of the Atari 2600 game "Dishaster", with addded features, using the Allegro5 library.

How to Install

Start by installing Allegro5.

apt-get install liballegro5-dev

Run the following command to generate a game file:

make

Finally, run the game with:

./tp

How to Play

Move the player character with the W and A keys. Don't let the spinning plates fall! Stabilize them with the S key, or catch them in midair if need be. When a plate hits the ground, you lose.

Available features:

• Local co-op
• Three difficulty levels
• Remappable controls
• Robust scoring system

Navigate the menu with the arrow keys. Use SPACE to confirm, and ESC to cancel.
