A simple bullet hell(shoot them up) game similar to touhou(東方), written in C.
The name has a C at the end because it is a console implementation
Key features
- Basic bullet curtain game play
- Cross platform
- Supports Windows Command Prompt
- 60FPS
- Colour
- Console resize while gameplay
I couldn't find a text based Touhou danmaku(弾幕) game so I thought It might be nice to implement one I challenged myself to complete this game in 6 hours, and I finished the game in about 4 hours combined.
This game is a coursework written for:
Week4 extension (due 2015/10/26)
Programming and Algorithms I (COMS10002)
University of Bristol, United Kingdom
Work handed in as wl14928
If you're from UoB too, you can contact me with that user name (name@bristol.ac.uk>)
This project uses standard makefile, simply:
make clean all
The binary will be located in project root named main (same directory with the makefile)
Use make clean to clean up(the compiled binary and object files will be removed)
Cross platform console cursor manipulation is hard but ncurses is a bit of a overkill,
so I found a cute little library that takes care it for me. The library is called
rlutil, and license for this library is extremely permissive
so including the headers in my project does not violate any laws. This library is also exceptionally
compact, only a single header file is needed.
The bullet dynamic is implemented with function pointers in the structure Bullet, this loosely resembles lambda
expression in functional languages.
The entire game is implemented in a game loop without thread.
Execute the generated binary in a console, Linux tends to perform console operations smoother.
Dodge bullets! some bullets are good so you might want to look for them.
Use the standard [W, S, A, D] for [UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT] and [q] to exit at any point.
- Better pixel snapping
- Performance issues with the list, need threads
- Clear screen doesn't work that well on Windows
- Sound
- More ASCII art
- Keyboard scanning should have it's own thread
- Save file
